I don't think HTML/CSS are all that good at making fancy layouts and designs. I find it quite common to have to fight my browser to get it to display things the way I want. CSS in particular in particular keeps massively growing because people come up with so much stuff that CSS can't really do. What makes the browser a great platform to develop complex designs is the development experience. Browsers have by far the best dev tools of any platform and most modern frameworks come with instant hot reload. It doesn't hurt that web apps are build with the same tech as websites either. Lot's of synergies.

I used to agree, but once I treated modern CSS as a proper language and bought a book on it I changed my mind. I love CSS grid.

  It seems to have too many glitches or edge-cases when working with other HTML widgets. After years of experience perhaps one learns to work around such, but it seems overly complicated for smaller-shop apps. "Enterprise" can afford to hire a dedicated CSS expert, mom-and-pop can't. We need KISS GUI's, not 4D-chess layout rocket science. With minor tweaks for screen-size adjusting, I believe WYSIWYG GUI makers that actually work right can come back in style.
