To be clear it uses a novel rendering engine (libweb) that the creators of LadyBird develop, it's just that that rendering engine has its own name and exists as a separate library.

This is not just another skin around webkit or chromium.

They're "separate" projects only in name; Ladybird is under the SerenityOS organization on GitHub.

But SerenityOS was started 4 years ago...

Doesn't Ladybird let you work on LibWeb and LibJS from a Linux angle though?

Yes. LibWeb and LibJS were written for the SerenityOS. As mentioned in the article, some work was done to make them buildable and usable on Linux in a headless environment. The Ladybird project is then taking that work and adding a Qt GUI on top of it.
