Only Qt never had the funding or resources or will to get native UI right.
Their non-native widgets are always off, in a way that even Electron, is not (because it being web-based means it at least follows familiar conventions for all web users, where a mimicked native GUI enters the uncanny valley).
There are also custom native but not platform-native (meaning close to the metal, no web-based) GUIs like Adobes, Fruity Loops, and others, that look good on all platforms and users have no issues with them.
