I mean...at least for GTK on Linux, you still can? It won't be 10 seconds (probably closer to 30-40 seconds) since you have to go through a couple of prompts to name it, decide a license, etc., but with:

https://apps.gnome.org/Builder/

You can do the same thing. In fact, this was the exact method I used to make a few GTK apps.

but then GTK has issues with some DEs supposedly
I saw this comment a while ago, and even now, I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
If you want to make a native GUI app work across desktop Linux users, it's not this simple
ok...and? The post was about making a native GUI app, which GNOME builder is clearly able to do. By your logic, the app in the video won't work across OSes.

My point is this is still clearly possible for native GUI apps.
