Qt is one of the very few UI toolkits that is more or less accessible. And even Qt's accessibility implementation isn't great. My advice for someone implementing a cross-platform desktop app would be to go with something based on the web platform. That doesn't have to be Electron; Tauri [1] looks promising, though I haven't tested it lately.

Sadly, that might be what it takes to get access to applications using the long tail of UI toolkits.
