difficult is to find an alternative to Chromium. even tried to put Electron in different engines like Chrome that uses WebKit on iOS instead of Blink.

however, with Microsoft adopting Blink as edge engine this year it's hard to imagine a better option than Chromium to use on Windows, MacOS, and Linux that doesn't even have a standard on all its multiple distros.

I find many people don't consider using firefox for their base. Curious why not? Not even talking electron, just saying.

Because, and I say it as a Firefox user who loves it, embedding Firefox sucks 😂

Seriously speaking, Mozilla documentation is largely obsolete on integration and AFAIK the new engine has no embeddable library.

I'd imagine over the years, with more limited resources than Google and Apple, Mozilla had to decide what to focus on.
