But there is no open GUI standard. Everything platform dependent is platform dependent and proprietary and owned by someone. Web standards is only real implementation of GUI that is not proprietary. Making a web app you don’t have to pay MS/Apple/Google tax. QT is also proprietary and you have to pay them quite a lot.
