To be fair native controls were total ass for years. And still kind of are. Doubly so if you're trying to build an "app". Basic crap any half-decent UI toolkit would provide out of the box, just not there at all. The stuff that is there's often not great.
It seems like as soon as it became common to work around problems with HTML ui in Javascript, the already-slow work to improve the standard appearance and functionality of HTML websites dropped to almost zero. We got some alright semantic-markup stuff after that but it took forever to even get a couple layout primitives that are non-terrible.
