And not just simpler, but way simpler, and way easier to get nice results. Think of all the stuff you get "for free" by using HTML in a modern browser. You'd have to write all this stuff by hand or lean on a game library to implement: text input, input focus, buttons, UI events, styled text (bold, italic, etc.), text shadows, box shadows, skinned UI (CSS).
In fact, I bet big name games will increasingly embed things like WebKit and use HTML5 and CSS for their UIs in the future.
