It doesn’t. Overall its plugins are very limited compared to sketch.
I was forced to switch to it and I miss all of my plugins, but I have to say the sharing and commenting features are so much more useful/seamless than the Sketch/Zeplin combo I used to use. So even though it’s a worse design tool, my productivity is better because of the seamless collaboration.

That's what I get the sense of.
We use Sketch with Invision—that works well enough for us. Although I wish Invision would allow me to @ myself on comments so I get an email reminder me to fix things I've found in review.
Outside of Runner, what plugins are you missing?
I've never used Sketch Runner, but you can search assets in Figma which appears to be 90% of what you're looking for.
1 minute of searching also reveals a plugin called "Figma Walker" which, as the name implies, is an attempt to copy the exact functionality of Sketch Runner.
It's kind of like Alfred for sketch. If there is a symbol or icon I need I can start typing it's name and I insert it without having to go through our design system's file tree. It has been a godsend for speed and I don't think it would be possible for me to work without it.
