React Native doesn't contain a renderer in the Chrome-y sense of the term, to the best of my knowledge. It wraps native APIs instead. Am I missing something?

Well, eventually Chrome also calls native APIs to perform the rendering.

You're stretching. Chrome calls native APIs to render a rasterized view. React Native calls native APIs to render native widgets in a native window, i.e. an Android activity.
