The issue with doing that though is that most Electron apps don’t use the same version of Electron. I have apps I’ve built that are still running pre-v1 because updating has been too much of a headache.
Microsoft tried to be backwards compatible with msvcrt.dll . It’s just too much inertia. Also you need to be bug for bug compatible or you may break some old app. Apps may even depend upon behaviour you didn’t know was there.
