Platform has a web browser anyways. Web technologies are brilliant for laying out user interfaces.

Complain about it being useless shit.

Where have all of these cynical people come from today? Every discussion I've wandered into today has had a good showing of judgmental, know-better, seemingly angry people.

The difference is the UI runs continuously and is RAM that a game cannot use. The web browser, by contrast, does not. It stops running when you leave it. Or it could, anyway, if it wasn't also being used as a GL container for the UI.
Theyre all wondering the same thing that you are.
