Your points are valid, but the big upside is that the default system webview is very likely to already be loaded in memory before your app starts. And if multiple apps use the default system webview all of them will load that same dynamically linked binaries only once.

I don think the RAM savings are that significant on modern systems, but it greatly speeds up app first-loading times.
