TL;DR: WKWebView is more modern, and has more API's that can make other parts of the app easier to manipulate the web views. Also more modern

Isn't the goal of Cydia extreme backward compatibility (Saurik said it runs all down to iOS 2.0)? If you switch to WKWebView you lose that.

It's on the README's Why is it called Limitless.
