I have been investigating Flutter and other solutions for cross-platform desktop GUIs, where I am not interested in mobile or web apps. For me and for this use case, I think I've landed on not caring about native UI components for GUI. It just doesn't work in my opinion because you're either at the whim of the OS in regards to their constantly changing UI components and UI guidelines/styles, for Windows and macOS, or you're in Linux land where such things don't exist. There's quite a few big applications that are on both Windows and macOS that don't follow either OS' guidelines or use native components.

If you're going true cross-platform across Windows, macOS, and Linux, I think it's hopeless to try and maintain three separate apps that look and feel like a supposedly native app should look and feel like, if there's such a thing anymore. Windows and macOS are not even consistent for their own apps and OS GUIs.
