Indeed, and the big advantage they have is that they don't have to worry about all the legacy cruft. They're building the whole stack from hardware to software from scratch in exactly the way they need. I suspect the software stack is a lot leaner than Windows or MacOS which could more than make up for chips being slower.
It looks like it's Android desktop (by the Android apps they have) like Samsung DeX but more polished.
HarmonyOS was based on Android originally. Incidentally, Apple has also been trying to unify their desktop/mobile toolkits.
