This is true until it isn't. A modern-ish CPU at 1080p 60hz it'll be fine. At 4k 120hz even the fastest CPU on the market won't keep up. And then there's 8k.

Since they're using native render functions this probably isn't the case.

I’m almost nerd-sniped enough to try and see exactly where it breaks down.

What’s a native render function? Do you mean just using a graphics API as opposed to an off-the-shelf UI library?
