Gtk is multi platform.

Being used more by linux doesn't change its nature, and plenty of stuff you never realized use it in many platforms.

Not entirely true. The resources devoted to making sure the backends for non-Linux platforms are correctly designed and implemented suffer a bit.

I say this as someone using GTK and who was forced to contribute quite a lot of fixes for the macOS backend (in GTK2), because I was one of the few people using it in the way we do on macOS.
