I hardly see your points on why we shouldn't have cross platform UI.
>>you're going to need a few more people because you have to have someone who understands each platform.
a big no here.
Certainly, if you write a native UI for every platform, you're going to need a few more people because you have to have someone who understands each platform. However, with a little bit of work you can define some good interfaces to that UI and most of your needs are going to be things that are not the UI framework but they're logic that can be cross-platform.
What cross-platform frameworks give you more than the UI is all the other pieces you need. I've written a bunch of applications in Qt Core with no UI at all because it's so convenient to have those Qt abstractions.
