It might even be better than that. It sounds like Microsoft pushed WebView2 to (at least some) Windows 10 computers (N.B. Steam says 32% of users are still on Windows 10).
Of course, the docs still say:
> Even if your app uses the Evergreen distribution mode, we recommend that you distribute the WebView2 Runtime, to cover edge cases where the Runtime wasn't already installed.
I wish we knew how prevalent that situation was. Not sure what the failure mode would be. But it sure would be nice to be able to assume that a modern WebView always exists on Windows! That certainly wasn't the case back when I made my decision circa 2022.
