You don't write it in HTML, you write it in JavaScript. Sure, <canvas> is a HTML element, but that's not the point.

more importantly it's terribly optimized and a huge pain in the ass to work with when it comes to implementing fully custom things (like bricks)

Unity is too high-end as well. A lot of people want the ease to run Blockland on older computers too, you know. Unity is $1500 I checked for the full thing, crazy pricing.

Nope. The game isn't written in HTML. It's written in JavaScript. HTML5 merely supports a canvas tag that allows manipulation via JavaScript (or other in-browser scripting language).
