Not really, they don't even cover half of these ones

Not to mention the related GUI tooling.

Where is Instruments on QtCreator, for example.

You have valgrind and many other tools instead of "Instruments".

The GNOME project itself [1] has a lot of projects which compete with what you linked. Sure, Apple has a few billion dollars to dump into development every year, so you have to adjust for scale.

None of them has the polish of a full working desktop stack like macOS.

Once upon a time, around 2000-2, I did some minor contributions to Gtkmm.

I know GNU/Linux since 1995, eventually one gets tired of being part of the 3% desktop usage.
