And many developers loathe C++. Why should I have to use such a low level and antiquated language for developing a GUI?

Nowadays you don't even have to use JS/TS, there are many languages that target JS and have decent bindings to its ecosystem, such as Scala, Purescript, Clojure. This doesn't seem to be the case with Qt which lacks decent bindings to languages other than Python.

It is all a matter of actually knowing how to write proper C++, or just using a C++ compiler to compile code that looks like C.

You might wanna read that back to yourself. Now replace it with any language you hate, and then tell me how that statement makes any form of argument at all (it doesn't...).
