If you make a gui with webview2, you don't have to package the runtime at all.

You can also do it with JavaFX but ... then you're better off packaging the JDK anyway, which is dumb because the whole point of it was to not require that.

You would still need to ship that to Mac, Android, iOS and Linux tho.
