And what windowing toolkit do you think it sould use on Linux? GTK? Meh. Qt is fine and using QtWidgets is pretty far from depending on QtWebEngine.

Don't forget that you're also expected to support Wayland nowadays on Linux.

Who is expecting Wayland support besides Redhat and Collabora?

And yes, talking to Wayland directly is extremely cumbersome and unnecessary complex. That's why nobody uses it.

Talking to bare x11 is one of the worst ways to conform to XDG desktop spec.
