I guess you are free to attempt the same thing for AppInventor...

Can it be that hard

Yes, it actually would be.

Scratch projects are actually just HTML/CSS/JS made with blocks, so it is fairly simple to convert the data to a web page. For executable programs, it's probably just a webview in a templated app that is told to run the HTML/CSS/JS code, and is packaged.

But AppInventor projects wouldn't be easy to make a website from. Android apps are written in Java or Kotlin (AppInventor uses Java). Browsers cannot natively run Java. Windows executables are written with C or C++. Mac executables are written in Swift, I believe. Therefore the Java would need to be rewritten as HTML/CSS/JS at least, which is difficult even with AI (because it isn't always right).

Why not us ?

Well this is APP inventor, used for creating mobile apps and they are not created in html, plus scratch is converted to html because it already has a web base.
