More effort needs to be put into porting existing GUI APIs to rust. Port UIkit, port Flutter. These APIs people already know. Electron is popular largely for this reason.

Or do we just enjoy reinventing the wheel?

How to design a UI is a broad question that is independent of programming language. It does not need to be reinvented.
