To be fair, toolkits do come with full multiplatform renderers with capabilities not too dissimilar to a browser these days - see gtk4 and Qt for example. It's a lot of work for toolkits to replicate what browsers have spend ages getting right - efficiently displaying complex widget trees on numerous platforms and hardware configurations. And yes, that is in fact needed to draw efficiently.
So, it is not a question for car or not car, but SUV vs. compact, and several copies of the SUV at that as everything bundles the bloody thing. Normally I prefer static linking, but it's a bit much for a browser.
