I feel the need to argue that the browser is not the browser engine. An app sitting in a chrome tab is significantly different than an app built on electron, they just share some rendering code paths.
Electron apps have shown that you can use a browser's rendering engine to make high quality apps distributed on multiple platforms. They also have the benefit of persistence, filesystem access, hooks into native code should you need them (not WASM - mind you), you can implement true multithreading and explicit SIMD optimizations. You don't have memory limitations, and you don't have to worry about browser sandboxing, malicious or well intentioned extensions that break the experience, etc.
The browser is not the same platform as electron. I would guess that Google Docs would function much better in electron than on the web.
