The fact that it's possible to not build an "app that looks native or actually looks good" doesn't imply that it's impossible to build one that does, though.
And I actually tend to prefer wxWidgets, as this wraps the platform's native widgets proper, whereas Qt reimplements many (all?) widgets, but attempts to offer a native look-and-feel.
Regardless: Actual GUI-frameworks have huge advantages to using a browser, like:
- Better performance
- Visual and UX consistency (HCI, people!) on a shared platform
- Smaller sized apps
- Drastically reduced resource and energy usage
