I’m a bit confused. I thought the main selling point of Tauri was that it uses the OS’s native WebView to create lighter apps compared to something like Electron. So why would I want to bundle a Servo or Verso? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of Tauri?

For one thing, not all OSes have a "native WebView".

In practice, it’s only Linux that is distro dependent out of the big ones, but most package managers have some WebKit gtk package to hook into afaik.

In theory yes you could go outside Linux as well, like maybe bsd? Or which ones are you thinking of?
