> Wonder why WebView2 would be any better than Electron?

Because its under their own control. Using a platform you control is great if you actually have the resources to maintain it.

Don't they own GitHub which employs most of Electron's contributors?

The community around Electron still has specific expectations. With an actual framework of their own they can safely make maintaining compatibility with the APIs their products use a top priority and also introduce questionable and Windows-specific things which probably aren't welcome in Electron.

They could always fork electron, it would have been first thing to do, unless they are expecting to do lot of radical changes which is quite hard to do on electron perhaps
