All of that is just as easily solvable without a web browser

We could've had all that by now if so much effort hadn't been

Yes, but today you have the option to build your own framework on
top of WebGL. That basically just leaves the browser as a shell
if you want to.
imaginable. HTML5 is a rancid burger with half a dog turd on
it. Adobe Flex/Flash/whatever is just simply a big bowl of
diarrhea.
Hehe. But you now have this thing called shadow DOM, so you can
define your own HTML5 elements with behaviour. You will probably
see UI kits for that within 1-2 years. (IE9 is holding back
development).
CSS selectors have also turned out to be quite good and well
supported these days. You can do a lot of stuff with those.
