I think you might've misunderstood what a WebView is.
A WebView is just another UI component/control/widget that windows apps can use, just like how things like buttons, check boxes, text fields, etc are also UI components. The idea is for developers to be able to just use those common components instead of re-programming them every time.
The WebView is used to display html content (not necessarily web pages) inside an app without the developer needing to basically program or embed an entire browser engine in their app just to show something.
I don't think so. It's a box displaying HTML. If it depends solely on Edge being present and installed - this is a bug (of the WebView implementation). If it could be based on any browser, but the user puts Edge-specific non-standard HTML in it, it's a bug, too (this time by the HTML provider).
