Speed.

WinHelp is really fast - normaly, when you click a link, the next
page appears immediately.
With HTML, you always have to wait a few seconds for the page
to load - even when working with local files, the browser will
often spend a second or two displaying the page.
(Which is why HTML reference-pages needs to be small.)

Also, WinHelp has the index and the search features.
The same (or better) functionality could be achived using
a CGI-script (or maybe Google) but again, introducing a delay.

And we all know how annoying those delays are, right? :)
