Best Scrapybara/E2B Desktop peer when you need Windows+macOS+Android fleets or local OSS sandboxes. E2B remains the depot Linux-desktop default; Cua when OS coverage is the job. Strengths: True multi-OS computer-use fleets (Linux/Windows/macOS/Android) plus OSS local runtime; Warm pools / fork-from-snapshot for eval and RL rollouts; Background driver does not steal the user cursor.
Lock-in risk: higher = more lock-in (worse). Overall already inverts this dimension.
