So what is “the OS-provided rendering engine” that he refers to as an alternative to Chromium if not a product of the OS provider, e.g. Apple, MS, etc?

From a web search on that very question:

That means Blink on Windows, Webkit on Mac.

Linux does not provide a default rendering engine. But if they made a Linux binary, it would bundle with Blink. So it would end up Blink for Linux.
