No there isn't (with resigned sobbing tone) there isn't. Everything GUI related on desktop is depressing prehistoric garbage that still takes ages to make and if god forbid you want something nice you might as well shoot your self.

That's not my experience, at least. I haven't had any major issues I wasn't able to solve with either.

Even if I were more comfortable with web tech when I first started experimenting with this stuff (some time around 2012-2015) I still found the end result much better.

If you don't go beyond standard interactions and look it's probably fine but let's say I want system chrome to look like the one in photoshop and some custom dropdowns for starters...

Why would your desktop users want your weird drop downs? UI consistency used to be a thing.

Some companies/people take branding too seriously.

... it'd be doable ? E.g. look at telegram which is a Qt app and even more foreign-looking than Photoshop: https://images.app.goo.gl/JVNR4Jetmh7frvwo6 . Or allegorithmic substance, also made in Qt: https://images.app.goo.gl/CbJaGhRvSswymAjQ7
