They're not "run on Chromium" like apps run on Windows. They use Chromium as their integral part. Better analogy would be taking Windows, uninstalling some but not all pre-installed apps, adding a bunch of bells and whistles to it, and saying that you've made an OS that is an alternative to Windows.

    You linked a marketing page. It says "it's a layer", sure. They conveniently omitted that other "layers" they mention - UI and synchronization between devices - aren't even close to be comparable in complexity with engine.
    Like that one guy in your school project, slacking off for a month, and then coming in hot with writing a page out of 30, and getting equal share of the credit.

    The use of the word layer is very clearly intended to imply its one component of many.

    Like if you crotchet your own steering wheel cover then is the car just a layer in your amazing unique transportation device?
