I have gone down this road before - but I think this is why many people saw Java as "Write Once, Debug Everywhere". It's just hard to write an abstraction that fronts for so much different native code on different platforms. Something is always going to break. Whereas if you run the same code everywhere, it might actually run everywhere.
