Kind of a cagey question ain't it?
Oh wait they took the cage off the box because it was cruel or some stupid sh*t.

They're called "animal crackers" - not circus crackers or zoo cracker. They're not even called lab-specimens for experimental torture purposes.
So - at least to my knowledge - animals don't actually come ready-made with cages built around them, at least as a general rule. Lately, at least here in the USA's northeast, they don't have them in most zoos, either. Circus', being boring as sh*t in the context of the current world, are all but gone.
In fact - the sensible place where bars and beasts are most likely to be found are referred to as "prisons".

A "few years ago" I had heard that HTML5 will revolutionize ... etc.
I figured I'd better learn it, but never got motivated enough, or studied enough to decide if it was worth it. Frankly, I'm pretty happy with what I can do with XAML or UWP/WPF in general.
Anybody else achieve HTML5 mastery?

I made an attempt in 2013: HTML5 Quick Start Web Application
It's good but with so many frameworks coming in off late( specifically last 2-3 years), believe it did not go that far as expected (people attraction pov). But again, this is the new base of HTML and thus always helpful for a web app irrespective of a framework. Browsers still stick to new standards and comply with it.
I recently shared a tip with others about it: HTML DOM designMode Property

You've answered my question in another way: no one apparently is using HTML5 for Windows "app" development (which is what caught my attention in the first place back then). Whether that means a desktop app that can run in a browser, I don't know. Seems I don't need to know.

Never say never: I might be the odd man out but I've been doing that for a number of years now. After getting tired of MS changing their UI tools I decided to stick with a browser and HTML. My apps include a tiny server, leave all the formatting issues to to browser and use JSON for communication between the two.
With a few tricks, I manage to pack everything in one exe file and tell my customers to do installation in DOS fashion: you copy the file somewhere an run it. Do you remember those days?

Oh! Apologies my bad then. If your query was related to Windows App, no have not used HTML5 in windows app. I see WPF (XAML) being set as standard for any windows app in our organisation. Myself too is more comfortable with WPF app and don't even think of HTML5 in the mix.

Just because you asked:
?[^]
That was five years ago ... which doesn't mean you still don't need the question answered ...
I still need to know.
(I turned to XAML because of it's WPF relationship and the fact that animating in FLASH was rumored to be childish and bad-habit-forming ,,, HTML5 seems to be some side-effect of secure HTTP web page development and who cares about such things as they neither can nor ever will be able to have effect there on.)

HTML5 is fantastic and amazing and solves deployment issues.
HTML5 is also a way around the iPhone app store (via PWA Progressive Web Apps).
A PWA has a feature (ServiceWorker) which allows the entire SPA (Single Page App) to be stored in a local file cache. That means everything works offline so even if the user loses connectivity or whatever.
I recently did this to escape the App Store. Now my app is fully functional on iPhones/iPads but all you have to do is go to my web site to see it: C'YaPass : Never type a password again[^]
The PWA also includes a functionality that allows the user to "Save to desktop" which will save the icon to the user's device so that the user can start it like any other app -- instead of having to go to a specific web page -- even though it is just the browser running the app.
In other worlds, I have used ElectronJS Electron | Build cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.[^] ElectronJS (based upon HTML5) to create one code base that allows my app to be deployed to Win, Mac, & Linux. It works great.
Yes, I was a WinForms dev (C++ then C#) since Win3.1 but I'm embrace the new tech because deployment is really the worst challenge. If you don't believe that, it is because you have not had to build installation packages on the various Windows OSes. It was terrible all along the way then the challenges of Win Vista and ProgramData ProgramFiles AppData and all that. Phew...

Glad it's working for you.
"Windows OS" deployment is better these days. When you build a (UWP) app package, you indicate the devices you want: x86, x64, ARM, xbox. You get a package that contains all, and the Store deploys what the customer supports. There is also a certification step that will highlight any issues; which is usually a "branding" image that is too big.

That's great to hear. I did try some of the UWP app building and deployment to MS app store and the packages do seem quite a bit better. It just felt that I didn't get much for it since there are no MS phones and I couldn't deploy elsewhere.
Good to hear they're settling out the deployment challenges though.

Hololense is / was x86 with Windows 10, multiple cameras, speakers, Bluetooth, One Drive, etc. I don't know why MS doesn't / can't just build an x86 phone.
