CSS is terrible, no doubt about it, but the problem is exactly that: native GUI frameworks haven't changed in the way they work. Why else do you think electron became popular? Obviously there was reason for it

I think it became popular because you can deliver the same app to mobile and desktop platforms. And because js gave people a very easy intro to development on the web so tons of people know it.

I don't think it became popular because it was better at making an application on a single target. I've never made a webapp with the equivalent of GLADE or QtCreator so I don't know if it even exists - but those tools are very decent if you had a basic understanding of UI layout.
