Because C++ is not a particularly good language to write large UI apps in.
Also, because QML is still not as good as the rest of Qt. But it's the right approach - a dedicated framework for desktop apps that is not built on things intended for completely different purposes (like HTML), but stealing the good ideas from there, like using a markup language to define the UI tree, and bindings.
Really, what we need is a cross-platform WPF with less fat. HTML is not it - it's cross-platform WPF with more fat, and not optimized for UI.
