This is a really observant point.

Users expect every website to have a unique identity (unlike anything built with WinForms), that is what creates the complexity.

If you actually use something like bootstrap, your website will look unoriginal, but it will be dead easy to make.

Indeed. The lack of easy theming (i.e. difficulty of producing a unique visual brand) is one reason why desktop toolkits lost out to the web, amongst many others.
