Out of curiosity; how come?

A web browser is one of the most complex pieces of software developed by human civilization, there should be no need to ship one with each and every trivial to semi-trivial app.

Some people think it’s bad performance and bloat. They learned it ten years ago and haven’t questioned it

So what’s the alternative, Tauri?

		I've made some personal custom apps with it, it works pretty well. With the latest version you can also choose what language to use on the backend side, so you aren't limited to just the original Tauri + Rust framework and can also use Tauri + Node/Typescript (still faster than Electron since you don't need to bundle Chromium + Node) or Tauri + Swift / Kotlin / Go / etc.

Out of curiosity; how come?

Speed. Efficiency. UI consistency. Cross-program features that nearly every "framework" fails at.

On my macOS machines, I make an effort to only use native apps. I can't speak for what Apple ships with the OS, but AFAIK, everything I've added is native.

Perhaps it's just a placebo effect, but everything on my five-year-old personal M1 MacBook Pro feels just as snappy as the mixed bag on my two-year-old work M4 MacBook Pro.
