It is a bit of a nothingburger, but it's important to note that Electron apps normally bundle their own chromium instance within itself and don't use other browsers. I suspect this is done to potentially support working directly with browsers you have installed.

It’s going to take creds out of your browser, spawn a new one not in the browser sandbox and act as the user to complete tasks. What tasks? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
