If making a calculator with web technologies is more important to me than making a very resource efficient one why would I _ever_ use Sciter for this that doesn't give me not proper web technologies to use and neither an actually resource-efficient calculator?
That's probably true for calculator. But if you need some aside application for communication (e.g. Slack, Skype, whatever) accompanying your main workflow then it is better if that will consume as less resources as possible.
But even for more or less feature rich calculator, e.g. something like personal accounting/finances utility, you'd better have flexible UI.

Which would automatically mean Sciter would not be a good fit for this.

If that's more important then why not going with proper web technologies?
But if you just need to create some relatively small utility, let's say, calculator.exe then it is pretty adequate for the task.
If you want to run something that is designed for Web browser then you need browser and server (Electron or Atom for example).
