Do features like these, when implemented in Racket, consume more resources (battery, CPU, etc.) than if they were implemented using the native API equivalents (e.g., NSURLSession or whichever is more applicable)?

In the larger context of cross-platform apps with a common core written in a non-native programming stack, I often wonder this about network and disk I/O management. I understand using the native APIs for other "I/O" like UI, hardware interfaces (bluetooth, accelerometer, etc.), because they often don't have an equivalent API in the programming stack used to implement the common core.

As far as I know, Capacitor wraps over the native APIs.
