The solution you end up with will be a compromise on your requirements. E.g. if you can compromise on the 40MB size requirement then Electron should be a good fit to cover all your other requirements.

Microsoft has developed VSCode with Electron.

Microsoft also supports React Native, which is arguably way better than any webview-based approach.

Unfortunely it is built on top of WinUI 3, with all the warts it entails.

Mostly because since they killed C++/CX, there is no UI tooling story for doing XAML C++, without having to deal with IDL COM like mess in Visual Studio, only worse in WinRT case.
