Why is there no CSS-like GUI creator [closed]

Question

Microsoft NET’s WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is a GUI-creation solution kind of similar to HTML + CSS.

IMO, it is much more versatile than HTML, but still easy to use (and to create readable GUI code).

Defining layout is as easy as this:

<DockPanel>
    <Label Content="Dock Panel Layout Demo" 
    FontSize="15" FontWeight="Bold" Background="LightBlue"
    Foreground="Blue" DockPanel.Dock="Top"/>

    <Label Content="Footer" FontSize="15" FontWeight="Bold" 
           Background="LightGray"
           DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" />

    <Label Content="Left Pane" FontSize="15" FontWeight="Bold"
           Width="125" Background="Firebrick"
           DockPanel.Dock="Left"/>

   <Label Content="Content Pane" FontSize="15" FontWeight="Bold"
           Width="255"
           Background="Beige"/>

    <Label Content="Right Pane" FontSize="15" FontWeight="Bold"
           Width="125" Background="Khaki"
           DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
</DockPanel>

And styles:

<Window.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="myStyle" TargetType="Button">
       <Setter Property="Background" Value="Orange" />
       <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic" />
       <Setter Property="Padding" Value="8,4" />
       <Setter Property="Margin" Value="4" />
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>
