In all fairness, that's still a lowered barrier. The barrier is the sum of all parts, if desktop gui dev is easy for systems programmers and really hard for web devs, and this project makes it easy for web devs, then it has objectively lowered the barrier for entry. It doesn't matter if it's still just as hard for systems programmers.
