GUI

Why can't laying out a GUI (e.g. QT) be as simple as the markup script for a webpage?

It is, see Microsoft's XAML for WPF/.Net 3.5+

Or webkit gtk

There's QML for QT. That's simpler than HTML and CSS. And HTML and CSS for layout are only superficially simple; there's a lot of complexity that's accumulated over the years.

XUL is XML for GUIs
There is also Android's XML-based layouts or iOS's feature that uses PNGs or whatever to build interfaces

It's pretty easy with Tk. I never even needed a GUI designer. There's bindings for most languages, but Tcl/Tk is the reference and probably has the least bugs.

Search for QML, it is basically HTML/JS/CSS for Qt.

Our one decent chance to move ahead... I am deeply sad that HTML persists to this day.
