Well sure. That is to say that Qt/Wx/GTK/etc. are as useless to cabalamat as to a Ukrainian plumber. In other words, that isn't saying much. If you don't write desktop apps, you wouldn't use a desktop app GUI toolkit, but that's a tautology. But cabalamat's comment implied that all desktop GUI toolkits are now useless because we have the web, which is a fallacy of generalizing personal experience to everyone else.

Not useless in general, just useless for me
I once wrote a Python program to compile GUIs[1] -- you input a description of the GUI as a text file and it outputs Python code that implements the GUI in Tkinter. I dusted this off for a project last year but eventually decided that making it web-based would be easier to write, look nicer, and have more functionality.
Obviously if other people find WxPython useful, good luck to them.
