There are a ton of terminal emulators out there based on HTML5, CSS, and Javascript, little Chromium apps and similar. And on some platforms they're often the only ones offering certain features or extensibility.
And they're naturally much slower than Alacritty and any normal Linux terminal emulator.

Just not those people really care about -- except maybe the one in VSCode. And of course, they are not those that Alacritty competes with and alludes to being faster to. "Faster than HTML5-based terminals!!!" would be a pretty low bar, if not embarrasing as a motto...
