Interesting that they didn't go with Blazor.

WebAssembly (and by extension Blazor) is for people who want to keep writing in their preferred (non-Javascript) language, but have to target the web.

Electron/Webview2 is for people who want to keep writing Javascript, but have to target the desktop.

The two tools are for opposite groups of people.

Office for web already committed to React, Blazor barely production ready, Office team doesn't seem to be a big fan of .Net, C++ or JS all the way
