One thing I learnt when programming long time ago was that having an abstraction for things fundamentally different wasn't a good idea. I was looking for an abstraction that would make tcp and udp look the same, but I wanted the benefit of udp on udp and tcp on tcp.

If you think about ui in OSes, they are different, quite a bit. Still similar in some way, but different.

Given that, one solution when you have similar things that are actually different (e. g. PS3 and PS5 are both consoles that run videogames, from the same company, but are incompatible),is to ship a vm. Make things run there and use it.

Chromium is that VM.
