Well, that would only be the case if the native UI was fixed at build time or 
needed to be installed.
Assuming native UI here still means QML then there is no such restriction. 

The choice to go with an HTML based interface instead was most likely made to 
also allow purchase through normal web browsers.

A valid reason, but has nothing to do with dynamic UI :)

Cheers,
