VScode has its own renderer for drawing code tabs and the sidebar components along with custom input handling, bypassing chrome engine, I believe. They're not webviews like extension tabs and are much faster.

Sorry, but that is just nonsense. VSCode is running on plain Electron in this case. There is no "bypasses chrome" magic going on here.
