Most graphical markdown renderers seems to convert markdown to html and then render that html using a browser engine. This includes basically any based on electron (vscode, atom, obsidian, roam).

The point of the browser-less claim is that it converts the md to html the same way most existing engines do, but then does not use a browser engine to render it, instead using something faster and more purpose-built.

As for the GPU-thing I'm not sure, but for example terminals are sometimes written to take advantage of GPU's (kitty for example: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/#design-philosophy ) so why not this?
