I guess technically he built a browser. There are many browsers out there that just use Gecko, WebKit, Blink, etc. under the hood. Hell, Edge just switched from their own Titan engine to Chromium/Blink. Building a control around a render is still neat, but it's not baking the thing from scratch. I think part of the pushback in these comments is that as devs and hackers, a lot of us want to see new rendering engines. Even if they're basic or just render web data differently, it'd be a good change from the narrowing and limited web rendering landscape that's out there.
