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?

As in using DirectWrite or GDI on Windows; or Core Text on macOS. As opposed to shipping your own glyph rasterizer.

Doesn't the blog post specifically say they are shipping their own glyph rasterizer?

No?
