It is not only the language itself, it is also the latency involved for
contacting the (although local) webserver and/or recomputing the layout
of the page.
Latency is one of the primary concerns for usability. Users get
frustrated quickly if a GUI takes its time to react. For Python you have
a backend library for the GUI that is reasonably fast, if you have to do
the same in javascript/html it is bound to be slower, since it is not
designed for that task. Of course it gets worse if there is any real
network involved between the server and the client.
