  That's the same version installed here.

  Because, as a GUI application, no one considered adding that option to be
parsed on the command line. Usually the --version argument works on command
line tools, not GUI tools.

  I've not used LyX to produce html and probably won't. I view the dvi
output, then use pdflatex to print the output file for me. It might be that
you're looking too hard at details rather than accepting the quirks of the
program and using it. Every application has quirks; asking why is, for me,
of less interest than learning how to use it productively.
