Skia is the 2D graphics library used in Chromium. A number of GUI frameworks (Flutter and Avalonia) directly use Skia to do non-native platform GUIs that are consistent across platforms.

Flutter is migrating to Impeller, which has much better runtime characteristics and font rendering. It's already being used by default on desktop and mobile. [1][2] But your point still holds, of course.

"Consistent across platforms" is not a user requirement.
Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. But it wasn't OP's argument, was it?
