Actually the problem may be that OS user interfaces, for all their native functionality, have not kept pace with browsers at showing text and images on a screen. Hypertext is an innovation that is hard to ignore.

Native UI is vastly more powerful compared to HTML and CSS, which were designed to display web pages, not widgets and controls.

In fact I don't understand what kind of experience you have to say something like that. If you were a web designer you would know that the web UI is a painful to use hack. If you were a mobile/desktop developmer you would know that both types of UIs are better at showing pretty much anything on a screen - including a browser engine.
