I suppose you can distribute HTML5 as standalone binary with Electron?

And I'd like to argue the fact that there is no such (integrated) tool existing indicates it's a niche market.

There are multiple tools now that have filled the Flash niche. YouTube, more advanced game engines, AppStore’s, modern JS... free to play games really killed the money side of it too. Flash games were the only free/ad driven games in town. Now you’ll be battling against billion dollar companies in that arena.

If Electron wasn't such a large minimal build, that's the way I think things could go.

I think something more like Web Components would be the direction I'd look in for a solution to this.
