WebView2 does not support Edge's IE Mode and also otherwise has no way to use ActiveX within WebView2. If you'd like to make a feature request you can do so on the WebView2 Feedback repo.

Unfortunately unlike most Edge features, IE Mode in particular is a lot of additional work to turn on in WebView2. Since IE Mode swaps out the underlying web platform engine we would have to do work for every WebView2 feature to work properly in IE Mode.
