I think that's more a function of "We want to access all demographics without paying to properly comply with the interface design guidelines of each platform individually. What 'write once, run everywhere including the browser' solution have you got for us?"

That wouldn't explain why even companies like Microsoft use webtech in their OS configuration GUI these days.

Good point. It's probably fundamentally a cost-cutting measure in both cases, where Microsoft just found it cheaper and easier for similar reasons.

(eg. Win32 isn't a convenient API, Qt has license fees while Electron does not, Microsoft has a history of making successor APIs that even they don't have proper confidence in, etc.)
