Question: Why isn't this incorporated into the standard notes app?

I get that having a script you can run in your browser offline means we're not dependent on the standard notes app to decrypt our data and that we can do it without fear of that data being sent somewhere on the internet, but couldn't this be incorporated into the app? I imagine it's hard to audit the HTML file as it is and it's not clear whether it's part of the audits conducted on the main app. It also feels strange downloading an unsigned, non-checksummed raw HTML file to decrypt your notes. If it was in the app, it would avoid this feeling and ambiguity. It would also be easier for the average user to decrypt their notes. Less technical users might be daunted by downloading something off GitHub, and it's an extra hurdle to clear either way. I noticed there haven't been any updates in two years either, which raises some security concerns.
