it seems ridiculous that we have to embed an entire browser, meant for internet web browsing, just to create a cross-platform UI with moderate ease.
Why are native or semi-native UI frameworks lagging so far behind? am I wrong in thinking this? are there easier, declarative frameworks for creating semi-native UIs on desktop that don’t look like windows 1998?
Depends on your language.

I’m not too familiar with slinr or fybe but DearImGui seems like an odd one out here.
Why?
Rusts egui (heavily inspired by dear imgui) works very nicely on Linux, Mac and Windows.
