Isn't Playwright much closer to Puppeteer than cypress?

Yeah, I mention that in the post. On its own it does not do any test assertions, but you can integrate it with jest, mocha etc. To provide e2e testing.

Much suited for more general things like scraping and automating browser instead of testing.

Arjun from the Playwright team here. Yes, Playwright - as it stands today - is an automation API and one can use it with testing frameworks to enable e2e testing. To improve this experience, we are investing in e2e test tooling around Playwright. For example, playwright-runner is an upcoming first-party test runner integration. Docs coming soon for early adopters!
