chromium running even if a X server is not up?

this is a litle strange, I know that tmux keeps running even is the X window manager is close
but today I see chrome..

Code:
 PID TT  STAT    TIME COMMAND
1510 v0  S    0:00.01 -bash (bash)
1938 v0  S    0:00.21 chrome: --type=utility --utility-sub-type=network.mojom.NetworkService --lang=en-US --serv
1939 v0  S    0:00.10 chrome: --type=utility --utility-sub-type=storage.mojom.StorageService --lang=en-US --serv
1940 v0  S    0:00.35 chrome: --type=renderer --origin-trial-disabled-features=WebGPU --change-stack-guard-on-fo
1941 v0  S    0:00.54 chrome: --type=renderer --origin-trial-disabled-features=WebGPU --change-stack-guard-on-fo
2053 v0  R+   0:00.00 ps -U juan

this was with no session manager or windows manager running(before that, yes, I run chrome)
but here I run ps -U juan in my shell
 
Chrome definitely forks into many processes when running. Right now I'm using a Debian laptop, and Chrome (with 7 tabs open) has 28 processes running. Some of those have names like utility, zygote, renderer, nacl_helper, and gpu-process. I bet some of those utility processes are not directly connected to the display UI, and can keep on running.
