You’d be hard pressed to find this kind of screen that isnt a web page. It’s much, much more convenient. You don’t need to deploy an application across the entire company, you just throw a tiny script on all machines that simply pull up the applicable web page. All updates happen in one centralized location, and the pages automatically update.
Worked with developing the software for these kinds of screens. We used Vue and Node for everything. Built the custom screens ourselves with raspberry pi:s and alot of custom parts. Made everything from bus/train stop signs and the screens on the bus to the travel agency tools to monitor and schedule trips. Everything from the same tool built in JS.

"When the only programming language you know is Javascript, everything looks like a web page."

I’m convinced the UI started in Windows 10 is just web pages.
