Let's be honest, we had multiplatform apps well before desktop-web apps. We are in this situation because GAFAMs pushed very hard the paradigm of always connected web applications (because they had no control over applications running solely on your computer). And since they won this ideological battle, there is not any more investment on multiplatform toolkits. I really think that all of this is due to political reasons and it have never been about the superiority of the web technologies.
