If the problems with that "crap" were insurmountable we wouldn't have the huge variety of websites like we do today. And I would argue that just as big cross platform issues exist with Qt/Swing. With Modernizr, JQuery etc you can get 95+% of the features on 95+% of computers.

We have them, because many people today don't know how to program in programming languages tailored for desktop development.

The interest in something like node.js is a proof of it.
