I think you're missing security considerations as well.

When a desktop application is compromised, it's likely that only a
particular user would a victim.
For web-applications, all users might be compromised as well.

The trend is actually switching to web+desktop applications. I.e. Steam
client or Delphi's "help" window.
So each application is a browser on its own.
A smarter framework might suggest an alternative to html+js, so it could
integrate with any application easily, rather than for a browser
application.

thanks,
Dmitry
