To be fair, all commercial non-browser runtimes (node, bun, deno) are "just" wrappers of V8 or JSC. Some more experimental ones are "just" wrappers of QuickJS and other less known engines.

iiuc its a runtime because the engine just dispatches one javascript microtask and returns to the runtime with a stack of remaining microtasks
