This is literally how every gui library on planet earth works. Developers all build against a particular recent released version with all apps in the system expected to build against a small number of recent versions.
If this is hard maybe its because the browser isn't a very good runtime to build against.
Right, but those systems are set up from the get-go with that usage pattern in mind, where you have an expectation of ABI compatibility and the underlying libraries as a shared resource.
The expectation with Electron has always been that you bundle a copy of it with your app, so that you're always targeting exactly that version.
