Deluge and Transmission are good cross platform GTK apps.

Transmission uses Qt on Windows, either GTK or Qt on Linux, and something AppKit on macOS.

Transmission has Qt and Win32-native GUI clients as an alternative to its GTK client.

I don't think Transmission is a good example.

There is a Qt and CLI client, too.

And a web UI! (My preferred method as I run it on my home server)

Evidentially it is possible to make GTK apps work at least somewhat nicely on Windows and Mac since there are a few out there. But it's clearly a ton of work. If you just make a standard GTK app it will be terrible. Most toolkits (e.g. Qt or even Flutter) work much nicer without having to fix them.
