basically this comes down to time and money. if you're a hobbyist, you have lots of options available, but they take time to learn and you probably already know html. if you're a professional, developer time is more expensive than cpu cycles and you probably already employ a web developer. unless there's a good reason, most people won't learn an entirely new GUI toolchain.
Plus, on average web developers earn less. So if you can create your desktop application with a web tech-stack, that saves you money as a manager, which in turn increases your bonuses: You're incentiviced to do that!
Really depends where you live
