> even implementing dark mode is a pain in the rear

You don't need to implement dark mode when all the controls already follow the users system color scheme. Dark mode is a signficiant regression compared to user-adjustable color schemes and another example of designers wanting to enforce their vision over the desires of the user.

They don't follow the user's color scheme properly though. Win32 has been hardly maintained and it's riddled with compatibility problems, so you need to go through a complicated opt-in dance and test thoroughly for any idea introduced in the past 20 years or so. For instance, hidpi support isn't 'free' like it is in any modern toolkit.
