I don't think this is the case for every application. It's definitely true for mobile apps, and it's probably true for desktop apps that are relatively small and/or use mainly standard OS GUI functionality.
But for things like Photoshop, or Office, or Unity/Unreal, too much of the UI is application-specific for it to really matter, and I think they benefit from a consistent cross-platform codebase and appearance.
