When people ask "why isn't there an awesome native widget set for my favorite language?" I have often said that GUIs are way, way, way harder than you think. It's easy to create a toolkit for your exact use case, but to create a toolkit that fits everyone's use cases to some degree is vastly, vastly larger than merely creating a programming language and a reasonable standard library. Vastly. This is a great example of why. A small set of reasonable requirements and already almost all the options on what is probably the best-endowed OS for toolkits are almost all disqualified, and what did fit was an odd solution that won't work for a lot of other use cases. It isn't that these are unreasonable requests per se, it is that this is how this space works. Everybody has weird requirements of some sort, pretty much all the time, and getting even reasonable coverage is a huge, huge project.
