Another way to frame this is that the primary viewing format is portable html, and can easily be viewed locally or shared with someone else or incorporated into a blog post, etc.

The true value here is the backend and its ability to return data in a form that can be visualized, and the output format/UI can be adapted/enhanced as the project matures.

Yeah, if you just need a single page visualisation like this then HTML is hard to beat. It's easy, cross platform and you don't need any libraries to use it.

Doing this with Qt or GTK would be much much more work. Especially if you're using Rust which doesn't have any really good GUI options yet.

What is the complicated part? Modifying the gui?
