Windows 11 Is Web-Based Too

And you guys still haven't noticed that even OOBE of Windows 11 is based on web too. Ever since Windows 10, in fact. Proof? When you're on the OOBE screen, hit Shift + F10 (as some of you already know this), launch task manager by typing taskmgr and hit Enter. Find a process named "Microsoft Account" or something like that, right click and "Go to details". There you'll see the process is backed by WWAHost.exe, which basically is Windows UWP Web application host (which also partially powers apps OP is talking about). It's similar to electron but less secure and maintained.

A screenshot of a Reddit-style comment explains that even the Windows 11 OOBE is web-based, pointing to WWAHost.exe and comparing it to Electron. The joke is aimed at web developers and Windows users who criticize adding JavaScript or web technologies everywhere, while Windows itself relies on them under the hood.
