Also consider how beneficial it is from an employer's perspective to just force all UI to be HTML/JS, impedance mismatches be damned. Edit: another consideration is if HTML/JS is the standard UI, then it biases that generation of developers to favor that particular abstraction. Innovation is framed as, "look where we managed to cram HTML/JS!" Actual innovation, which would be more along the lines of, "here's a new paradigm/abstraction that replaces HTML/JS" is seen as eccentric and largely ignored. In effect, developers' over-attachment to the way things are done greatly slows forward progress. They're only able to recognize small, incremental improvements.
