Depending on your skills and requirements, designing an UI with web tools can be easier then with pure Qt.

The presented software could be understood as a lightweight alternative to Electron where the Hackernews community just collected good argumenst for and against at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16435688

I personally like all the ingredients (Qt, python, the web). The only thing which could steal the show is the quality of the browser engine integrated into Qt. Since typically Qt is some shared library (especially when used with Python), the whole software will be not as monolithic and probably "pixel perfect" as an Electron application is. On the other hand, this is what you are used from regular web.
