Another difference, not mentioned in the article or the comments till now, is the effort required for producing a legally compliant software distribution.
All's well with using FOSS libraries, but the licenses have to be respected. So you have to collect license information and comply with the license terms. For GPL and LGPL licensed components, one had to make the complete corresponding source code available. For permissively licensed components, one usually has to provide the copyright notices.
Including the whole Chromium (as in the case of Electron) does not make this easy. Creating a Tauri-based legally compliant distribution is much less effort.
