As a web dev, I agree 100%. It's a mess.

...but if your business need/use case is to port with your existing web app to the desktop with minimal fuss (and you're willing to sacrifice UX), this in no way helps (unlike Electron). If you're going to have to manually rewrite everything for the desktop anyway, why would you want to do it in the DOM, using an older HTML version, a CSS subset, and a somewhat-compatible JS-lookalike? Why wouldn't you just write it in a desktop-native UI kit?
