One HTML5/CSS advantage is that it allows people familiar with web technologies to contribute to the desktop environment design. I don't know if that was a factor in their engineering choice, but if you had relatively few under-the-hood engineers but a lot of web developers willing to contribute it might make sense to go that route.

Hahahahahahaha. My 2 favourite solutions looking for a problem ... with the quality of developers that each camp brings to the party ... now creating a webby desktop, because even for local applications ... webby is now the best delivery mechanism. <yawn>. I'm sure it'll be a hit!

I tried Jade Desktop and it is pretty interesting, it uses Blackbox WM underneath, to me it is seems like Jade is a fullscreen webapp, once minimized you're back to Blackbox (that is if you install tint2 or some task manager to be able to minimize). There is no Alt+Tab support yet it seems, you cannot switch between apps, you cannot minimize, if you had firefox running and spawned a terminal, firefox is now gone out of the view and terminal took over the focus. Sparky also seems like a very comfy distro and Polish locale is very good, it even installs liquorix kernel for you, very convenient for desktop users as CFS in Linux is not a proper scheduler.

Lol and here i am shying away from anything that is not dwm or i3 because it would decrase the battery life of my 2008 laptop.

Beating human reaction times isn't as trivial as it sounds if you're a desktop programmer.
Do you have a folder with all the memes you've downloaded with like a thousand images in it?
How long does it take to ls -t | tail? How long does it take your favorite desktop to display the directory? How long does it take the open dialog?
In reality, these programs are 40% written by ignorant, arrogant ass-clowns, and 60% left to be completed never. Gnome 2 came close to completion and was thrown away. If the companies working on desktop linux were smart they'd back Mate or Xfce, but they're controlled by groupthink of Poetterings.
