I really don't see a tooltip having that much pull on the web development zeitgeist

How is this a bad move?

They are promoting the ability to pin websites on the taskbar.

I think I used the wrong word, I meant to say this is likely going to become another wasted effort for something people aren't going to use much or at all.

Providing an Electron app probably has the same reasons behind it as providing an app instead of improving the website.
