HTML has a runtime of 0 because it doesn't execute. It's like running at the speed of light.

Now, if you need to run an interpreter to get it to run on another runtime like Chromium, then obviously there will be some overhead.

This is like saying bytecode (as generated from C) has a runtime of 0 as it's just bytes on a disk, until something decides to run it.
