What would have to be built to make this viable
As I’ve said, Blazor Desktop is currently just a quick proof-of-concept, built entirely during the waking part of my return journey from NDC Sydney. It would have a long way to go to turn into a viable product.

It would need:

Cross-platform support, e.g., using webview
Edge (Chromium) support, so that on Windows 10 we’re using the OS’s own Chromium-based browser instead of the Edge-based webview used in my prototype. This would also enable access to Chrome-style browser dev tools automatically.
Handling the scenario where a suitable webview can’t be found. In the rare case where a user’s OS doesn’t supply an acceptable webview technology, we could prompt the user and download a standalone Chromium distribution (likely via CEF).
Desktop APIs - this is the big one that would be expensive to achieve from scratch. Electron doesn’t just use Node as a general-purpose programming environment; it also ships a set of cross-platform APIs for interacting with the desktop OS for tasks like copying to clipboard, changing the taskbar/dock icon, displaying native dropdown menus, showing native prompts/dialogs, and many more such things. .NET Core itself supplies a huge proportion of the APIs that applications need, but today it doesn’t address many of the desktop-focused ones, since there isn’t today any standard cross-platform .NET Core-based UI technology. Any realistic app needs these capabilities. Conceivably it might be worth bundling Node just to get cross-platform implementations for these APIs (though still without bundling Chromium).
Publishing and downloading updates automatically

As far as the windows platform is concerned, all problems are not problems on. Net 5.0, except that they are not cross platform.

However, many industry applications need WebView to transform traditional applications, and many of them run on Windows platform. Therefore, we hope to make WebView the first to support WinForm in. Net 5.0
