What the hell are you talking about? Who are you talking to?
You don’t need a ‘framework’ to write JavaScript. And HTML doesn’t ‘simulate’ a GUI, it in fact provides a paradigm and an engine ready for rendering gobs of text, images and whatnot, on which any other typical GUI framework would choke like a little baby. And you would have to implement any minuscule element from scratch in godforsaken C++ of all things.
Maybe learn a thing or two of what you’re trying to speak about.
Do you imagine that it abstracts an underlying GUI framework?
Please tell me, how would an HTML engine render something like a few paragraphs of text flowing around embedded images whatever which way, if it did that over a traditional framework like Qt/Gtk/etc.
Even Electron apps can be small: Stretchly, a break reminder, normally takes something like 20 MB of memory.
Still has about 20 abstractions to simulate a GUI in a Document Object Model. And the framework for your small code has more loc than your OS.

Uhuh. And how you think it does that?

That’s what i say, minimized webbrowsers are a slight bit less bloaty but still make for bloaty GUI frameworks.
