One of the reasons: AV application should look modern to give an impression that the app is adequate to modern threats. So while app backend is relatively stable, its UI shall be easily tweakable. CSS/HTML is good for that.

I actually really love it. Typically AV products UIs feel snappy and lightweight and it is the backend engine that does most of the work and feels horrendously as a bottleneck. Which I think is an interesting phenomena when considering modern desktop applications where typically the backend code does very little and the frontend one is the one being bloated (Electron).

It's a bit sad that there is not a lot of talk and re-usable components from these companies for Sciter that can help us create snappy apps!
