Yup, that's the price you pay for having it cross platform and avoiding C++. If I were making that choice today, might lean towards Qt, but I'm not sure. Tk's widgets are really pleasant to use, the last time I looked at Qt it was a lot lower level (may have gotten better, it's been a while).
That's a bit of an unfair comparison. Gtk has lots of nice themes which AFAIK Tk can't use. That dialog doesn't exist on Firefox anymore, but this is what Thunderbird's preferences look like on my machine: https://my.mixtape.moe/fggaex.png
It's true, Tk can look okay on linux, but it will still be out of place when placed side by side with Gtk and Qt apps (Qt can use Gtk themes).
