3rd party applications/editors can render fonts however they'd like. VS Code's font rendering is almost certainly not native and I don't think Chrome's font rendering is either.
Chrome uses Skia which - on Windows - uses DirectWrite which is basically native however...
DirectWrite has a whole bunch of flags that configure sub-pixel and anti-aliasing as well as natural widths etc. So it might not look the same. To make matters worse it changes what settings it uses depending on the size of the type IIRC and even had a few font-specific tweaks there as well.
Windows apps in general might not look the same depending on whether they are using GDI, GDI+, DirectWrite (all considered native) and any combination of those flags... and of course it depends on whether the user has ClearType turned on and if they have used the Tuner to calibrate the rendering further for their preference...
