Are Vulkan and OpenGL OS “native” or 3rd party? I think this is sort of a semantics hairsplitting argument that isn’t terribly useful.

Skia is useful because it provides a powerful, performance oriented common target 2D drawing library, and it is more than a lowest common denominator wrapper.

They are on the platforms that offer them as OS APIs, Skia isn't, it is a wrapper on top.

It could be Qt, SDL, SFML, or anything else with similar goals.
