As the article says, they are currently planning to use it as a WebView component first - which makes sense, because applications using WebViews can work around possible quirks in the engine much better than browsers. Maybe Tauri (https://v2.tauri.app/) will be able to switch to Servo (or offer it as an alternative) soon?
Yeah, the great thing about applications that wrap a WebView is that they benefit from a fixed target - if Servo doesn't support some specific CSS feature the application developers can notice and just not use that feature.
We're actually building our own web engine (https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz). It does share some components with Servo, but it is much lighter weight as it replaces the JS engine with a Rust API.

Yes Tauri is keeping an eye on Servo
IIRC, Dioxus' next version will be based on Servo.

There is Verso, but it is on hiatus right now.
