"Filthy Rich Client" only shows how to do it, but it's still much, much harder than in QML (even Qt Widgets supported CSS styling) and WPF. I would say by a factor of at least 5 regarding QML and slightly less for WPF.

Yes, but it was possible.

Not reading such books, just meant many devs were totally unaware of how to do it.
