Sure, I can clarify.

1. I know GitHub stars aren't everything, but Playwright has 41.9k at the moment, and Cypress has 40.5k.

2. Playwright is backed by Microsoft, and given how happy I've been with how they manage Typescript, that makes it a pretty safe bet to me.

3. Cypress is much older, so I discount a lot of the blog posts in my evaluations. In fact, I count such things against it sometimes, because oftentimes when I'm hunting for a solution to a problem, all I can find are outdated answers. I run into this a lot with AngularJS and Angular.

4. Playwright is included in most of the recent comparison articles I've run across. I don't really keep track of these, but searching again I quickly ran across 2 examples:
