Is there? UI applications historically used to be written in C++. But in this decade, I don't think many new GUI are being written in C++

Games are, anything based on Qt/KDE, UWP/WinUI (even if it is mostly Microsoft employees).

Now even if it is Flutter, React Native, or Chrome/Electron, they are powered by C++ graphics engine, and language runtimes.

The engine being written in C++ does not mean the application is. You're conflating the platform with what is being built on top of it. Your logic would mean that all Python applications should be counted as C applications.
