A normal "excuse" is that html is "easier" (LIES!) and if you wait loooong enough the performance will catch up. I concede css make styling far easier than any native toolkit. And is true that most UI toolkit are so unfriendly that make html+js look soooo good in contrast. But native development have been far simpler, productive and easier for solo developers before: Delphi, HyperCard, Smalltalk, Visual FoxPro, Visual Basic prove it. My experience is that most developers I know (in latin america) prefer 1000% of the time (maybe not exagerating by much) to code in that tools than html. Html/js is dreaded. Is like "damm... I MUST do html and js because... what choice I have?". The huge indictment of our industry is that it bet in a subpar tech (html/js) and have forgotten to invest on UI toolkits. Look how much take Apple to get swift UI. Decades! Decades! And it have hypercard before!!
