Since Tauri is just a thin wrapper over the system webview, what's the point of having a wrapper over a wrapper?
I don't think the Python ecosystem was lacking in browser wrappers up till now.

Tauri also has their own experimental Servo engine: https://v2.tauri.app/blog/tauri-verso-integration/ So it's not necessarily a wrapper over system webview.
Verso just got archived :(

That is very complicated if you take into account also Linux, Windows, iOS, MacOS, Android support, and related utilities like tray icon, etc. There are other efforts, too, but they are also wrappers. Like this C/C++ implementation https://github.com/webview/webview that targets only desktop operating systems.
I don't think the point is just about Python - this means you can use JS front-end with a Python backend for a local app.

This isn't true. It's a thing wrapper over various things, including that.
Even if it were true - so what? There are probably 30 nested wrappers you could name even if you started at WebView as the outermost wrapper.
