Yeah there's more to a browser than a couple of out-of-tree servo components, otherwise https://github.com/servo/servo wouldn't have 300k+ lines of Rust code, 400k+ if you count comments and blanks (I cloned the repo, nuked the tests directory, then did a count).

Plus that linked comment doesn't even say it's "nothing more than a non-functional wrapper for Servo". It disputes the "from scratch" claim.

Most people aren't interested in a nuanced take though. Someone said something plausible sounding and was voted to top by other people? Good enough for me, have another vote. Then twist and exaggerate a little and post it to another comment section. Get more votes. Rinse and repeat.
