I've experimented with Android Browsers. The problem is that android VMs are super heavy compared to the resources needed to run just Chromium

Startups are absurdly slow, isolation is harder, etc...

Android bloat is insane, you need to run the entire Java VM to start the browser... It's also harder to fingerprint, and at scale that's something that we need for Browser Use

Cool experiment but not yet production ready, at least for us

>compared to the resources needed to run just Chromium

That Chromium is still running in a VM.
