Qt would certainly be the better choice. However, since Meta already has a web version of the WhatsApp client, the WebView2 path was an easy and inexpensive option. After all, MS itself paved the way with Teams, Visual Studio Code, and Outlook.

VS Code is Electron not WebView2

Same thing though. Electron is chrome. Webview2 is edge which is really just chrome with a bit of UI sauce over it.

That's not the same thing though.
