I'll try throw something in the mix, there is a matter of fashion. Back in the 90's C++ win32/MFC development was the highly regraded, I guess I should note that VB6.0 was very in demand as well, The technology and the market trends have changes so also the developers.

I for one don't like to write web applications (mainly because the technology fragmentation), and I prefer to use client application whenever I can.

Having say that I can't see myself writing Win32 API as a day job in the near future, for all the reasons mentioned above.
