Agreed. More and more people are using services like tryshift.com and wavebox.io and so many unification apps. One of those lets me (with permission!) use my employers computer for non-profit work during my breaks and it is essential that a messaging service works with it.
They seem to rely on the web apps for things like Whatsapp, and without it that's a deal-breaker for an increasing number of people...

Can you see a way around this for Signal?

Few companies are willing to build a separate native / web interface these days, though I wish more would. Perhaps something like https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/ will gain traction.
Instead of running 15 separate instances of electron I’ve been using https://wavebox.io/ which is basically one chromium instance designed to handle multiple always-on web apps like discord or slack
Not precisely Messenger client, but can serve up the purpose. I used Franz and switch to Wavebox once Franz started to get buggy on Linux. In wavebox/franz you can setup multiple accounts for multiple messaging services so you keep them all in one place.
I have Messanger, Whatsapp, few slack accounts, gmail, skype and that keeps browser much cleaner. Moreover, with BTT I've setup keyboard shortcut (cmd+shift+e) so everything is super accessible. You also get nice counter in top bar for notifications and can mute notifications for limited time.
I've been using Ferdi for a while and love it, but I'm looking for alternatives for the same reason. It, and Franz, use tons of memory (ferdi is using 13.5 GB and 50.2% CPU at the moment per top). At the moment I'm testing Wavebox (https://wavebox.io/). It's open source, but they have many features that require subscription (less than ideal). The upside, is it seems to use a fraction of the resources. So, I'm still trialing it.
As a former Rambox and Franz user, I recommend [Wavebox](https://wavebox.io/). The free version is good; the paid "Pro", awesome. Eight services (including WhatsApp and Slackx3) open now, using less RAM than the official Slack and WhatsApp Electron apps. I used Adium for years back in the day (2003-2009 or so), then went to all-official apps for the features, then ran screaming away because the official apps all went Electron. If I'm going to run a Web browser that thinks its a native app, I might as well run one that lets me use all the services I need in a single app. That single app is now Wavebox.
If you are using it for business have a look at Wavebox, it is the monetized version of the great Wmail Gmail/Google software (the free version bugs you repeatedly to move up to the paid versions).
It supports a lot of different sites including O365.
Wavebox might be what you are looking for. It's more or less a wrapper for websites, all combined in one app.
While it is open source, they'll charge you 20€/yr, but for me it's worth it. Might be worth checking out.
I know it's not what you're looking for probably, but possibly take Outlook completely out of the equation. I use https://wavebox.io/wavebox-app-directory/ which is super affordable and even an Open Source project. I use it for a multitude of apps and it runs without any hiccup. These clients that don't want to pay extra for the archiving services need to adapt to apps like Wavebox and just run directly from the site.
Another one: https://wavebox.io/ - has direct support for Slack, Gmail / Inbox, couple of others. For everything else, you can add any random website as an "account". Fair warning: it's based on Electron (just like the official Slack client, so...)
I just heard about Wavebox recently, which is probably close to what you're looking for (though it's more focused on email-type communication). The number of integrations is somewhat limited at the moment, but there is a priority queue of services to integrate next (on which FB Messenger and WhatsApp are near the top). Might be something to keep an eye on.
