HTML and CSS are also absurdly hard to actually do anything useful with or interactive compared to normal desktop or app frameworks.

Orders of magnitude more BS, plumbing, awkwardness, head scratching, etc.

That was indeed a pain point, but not anymore after CSS flex layout became available some 10 years ago. It's not worse than WPF for sure. It's even better than WPF because you have access to tons of UI components and toolkits that work everywhere.
