This is done in Octave 4.4.

Yes, there is a reason.  Things take time to implement.  No one has yet done anything better than what we currently have.

Based on what I could garner from documentation-dock-widget.cc, webinfo.cc, and parser.cc, the docs are extracted from the infos and converted on the fly to html (function info_to_html).

The resulting HTML uses a hard-coded style (e.g., monospaced fonts) which is inferior to the HTML already shipped in share/doc/octave/octave.html/ (e.g., *** instead of bold) -- see screenshot attached.

Any reason why not use the latter existing HTMLs instead of going through the former conversion?  Note that Qt's QTextBrowser class "implements the setSource() function, making it possible to use a named document as the source text."
