Said the guy who's only had to write single platform, toy apps. Try dealing with complex cross platform apps some day and you will understand why Qt is a great solution at least on the desktop where complexity is much higher than mobile apps which are for the most part toys.
On mobile you have a choice - if your app is more about funky UI than complex functionality - go wild and write straight to native or limit yourself to one platform. But on the desktop - a well designed Toolkit like Qt is godsend and you would be crazy not to use it even for single platform app.
