I’ve done it in both JavaScript and Rust. At the end of the day it’s just a bunch of lines, circles, polygons, and text.

That's true of almost all computer UI (excepting 3D modeling). It's all just boxes and text.

Kind of. Except with SVG data viz you likely don’t need a layout engine. It doesn’t need to be “responsive” and render differently on different devices.
