This (assuming it's Qt Quick) opens the door for a competitor to HTML for web apps.

Except this looks like it would be a big download, wouldn't it? And how would this UI interact with assistive applications like screen readers?

According to my chrome network tab cnn.com now comes to 1.7 megabyte. Without ad blocking, over double that.

Let's say 20% of that is images (it's actually less) ... it is not a problem to fit quite an extensive C++ program in that.

Have you checked the sizes of the Qt libraries lately? QtCore or QtWidgets larger than 5MB each. Qt is simply an enormous amount of code. I currently can't get any of the wasm files for the demos to load to compare those, though.
