Hey Joe, EarlGrey right now is based on XCTest. However, the next version being worked on right now should integrate EarlGrey with XCUITest. Do feel free to contribute.
Hi Mathew, EarlGrey already has some support for UIWebView / WKWebView used in hybrid apps. If you meant something else, i'd follow up with them on https://github.com/google/EarlGrey
While this is a longer discussion, in a nutshell, this is the main advantage to using EarlGrey:
EarlGrey is a grey-box framework rather and a black box framework like XCUITest. You have access to the app's state and the app's variables which makes EarlGrey more versatile. You can create custom matchers, actions and assertions that can utilize all these features to provide a wider coverage.

This is exciting! Is it built on Xcode's existing UI Testing framework or XCTest?
