HTML doesn't suffer from the uncanny valley problem because it doesn't look native at all, it's just something totally different. Yeah, sometimes it sucks, but it's not because it looks "almost but not quite there".

Perhaps Cordova/Ionic, when it tried to imitate the look iOS/Android's native controls.
