The trace-producing part of magic-trace is built on top of the more primitive Intel Processing Trace feature, not perfetto. It's still standing on the shoulder of a giant for sure, but few people would be able to effectively utilize Intel Processing Trace without the ergonomic improvements.

perfetto is "just" the profiler UI.
