Reliability and predictability of desktop platforms.
If you're targeting Windows 10, there is exactly one API (that does not change much) waiting for you. Targeting "web browsers" will hurt you each time a new version is released.
Higher flexibility in terms of UI/UX.
A web browser is always running in a specialized window frame with an address bar, captured hotkeys et cetera, and HTML does not give you a full flexibility to work around that. Desktop GUIs do.
I strongly dislike Python, but Qt is rather nice. Hint: Their wiki!
Thanks a bunch! Though after an hour or so of reading up, it looks like licensing could be an issue if I ever pursue Qt. The fee is quite heavy for my liking :/

Qt is dual-licensed. I personally don't use it because I would be required to bundle a ton of DLLs because of the license.
