Yup.

But embedding an HTML renderer in your desktop app does allow you to
use HTML where it's appropriate - and it works really well for dynamically
generated forms and tabular output.

The IBM 3270 wasn't the crowning achievement of data entry technology.

    Hmph!  I am still using punched cards for data processing and data
    interchange...

    ...like making shopping lists and giving people notes - for which
    purpose, I find a pen more convenient

     than a card punch!
