How can starting a browser be a best practice? This app is lightweight and does not even use a GUI toolkit. You would roughly use 20x more memory. How is that a best practice?

Both Windows and macOS have X servers. Heck don’t they both ship with them nowadays?
not really that portable?
No, not rest API, electron.
