This was one of the examples I first thought, but it seems they have moved away from electron based tech

Well, as far as I know - and I could be wrong - electron really doesn't give you a lot of control over what's actually going on inside the browser. It simply gives you a way to interact with browser based applications and a more of a behind the scenes application with access to your filesystem and other things normal applications tend to need.

Yes that's the usual case, it uwp for example you are able to control the web view navigation as well as things that doesn't happen inside it, screenshot as an example, I believe this to be true in electron as well
