They do (Windows and Mac OS in fact do, too), but then you have to support multiple browser engines
with different APIs. The level of control can also be quite limited (or cumbersome to achieve) for
some applications. Having a single engine with the same behavior across all platforms would be nice
to have.

But the most important point (for me) is that the web-view controls do not support off-screen
rendering, so you have to use the native UI framework, which further reduces the possible code reuse
and flexibility.
