It's cross platform almost out of the box.

You rely on Chromium which is battle-tested and have frequent updates

You can hire web developers to sketch, prototype, deliver your GUI. You can connect it to your own website.

You can let your users creates plugins and scripts more easily with web technologies.

You already have most of the codebase if you want to run a Light version of your software online as a SaaS or free app.
