Qt is what it is because in the 90s and much of the aughts they needed to implement loads of their own stuff for support across many compilers and platforms. That's not really true anymore and using their containers and smart-pointers and so forth is now really annoying. Anyone used gtkmm? That seems to be the one cross platform C++ GUI framework that doesn't try to re-implement massive chunks of the standard library and forsake modern C++ programming style and idioms.
