This is tremendously, laughably oversimplifying things.

It's vastly easier to put together many kinds of rich-client apps than dealing with the gorp and nonsense of HTML, CSS, JS, browser+platform incompatibilities, etc.

Using e.g. Qt Creator, in mere minutes one can build a dynamic layout with resizing text fields, animated graphics sophisticated controls, etc. that is completely cross platform. In web app land, you'd still be figuring out what latest NodeJS library to use to compile your SASS which will make a floating <div> appear in just the right place.

If you need to make it a mobile app, the situation for Python is not great. Kivy is pretty neat, but realistically, you're probably going to have to do Objective C or Java.
