requests_html is using chromium (via pyppeteer) for rendering pages. Thus to make it work on android it also needs to be packaged as a dependency to your APK. But to package it you need to compile it for android. It's all doable but is definitely out of scope of python-for-android project.

It's more about how to make android more like linux PC if we think about "somewhat proper" implementation.
