Mainly it's a: 1. size issue (embedded - big, system webkit - small) 2. control issue (embedded - more control of webview features, system webkit - fluctuates with system updates)
Since we are not dealing with Mobile, issue (1) should not be a problem, but we can't really have lightweight apps. Perhaps an approach like how Adobe AIR does it with their Captive Runtime: http://www.tricedesigns.com/2011/08/10/air-3-0-captive-runtime/ I updated Cordova-Mac last week to support notification.alert and console.log just to play with it.
