the file size is too small to be an equivalent to (nodewebkit/electron) - webkit/chromium.

What you'd need is node (without webkit) which translates to ~9MB, + launching with the system browser.

9MB or so would still be a large step down from entire chromium runtime, but desktop apps still will have access to things like fs module, which are needed for desktop apps.
