> MFC was Microsoft, so that was definitely native Microsoft reimplemented this stuff from scratch all the time. Not just in MFC itself but Office too.

  Don't modern versions of Windows contain at least 5 different widget frameworks? Like, Win32, Ribbon (I think engineered for Office as you said), WinForms, WPF, WinUI 1/2/3... I think Apple just has Cocoa (Carbon is long gone), AppKit, UIKit, and SwiftUI.

    You (rightly) forgot about UWP, "universal windows platform"

      Eh, I forgot if UWP was a widget framework, I thought WinUI 1/2/3 included the WinRT stuff.
