I thought Discord is mostly webview-powered, is it not? If so, this change will make very little difference to the user.

react native =/= electron (and similar frameworks like CEF). The former uses native widgets. The latter uses HTML/CSS rendered by a browser layout engine.

I know that. I am saying that if the app is mostly webviews anyway instead of building the views natively, there would not be much difference between being a fully native app with WebViews or being an RN app with <WebView> components.
