Yes, the thing is, the browser is an extremely expensive abstraction layer. It's like having a car factory where everything is built by general purpose robots - it's very versatile, but obviously if you build an assembly line using dedicated machinery, it's going to run much faster.

But you also have to build your own factory and assembly line, which isn't faster to begin with and takes a lot of effort to get their. Zed still has issues with basics like font rendering and GPU usage from excessive redraws / repaints

Meanwhile, chromium works reasonable well on billions of devices of all shapes and kinds

This is why Electron is so popular. Building entire factory is very expensive.
