This article, the second in a three-part series titled "GTK+ fundamentals," introduces you to programming with GTK+. It analyzes a sample GTK+ application written in C, then shows that same application written in Python and C#. Finally, it discusses some useful tools that can help you develop better applications faster with GTK+.

wxWidgets and Qt do that on both Windows and OSX and so they feel more native.
Qt does emulation which strikes a balance between native look and feel and maintainability, with the extremely complex differences you can get between supporting each platform natively. SWT has a lot of experience with this.
But a flat out answer to your troll-baiting question is: it was a design decision from Day 1. And it was probably easier to implement it this way.
That's a bit of a problem for a cross-platform toolkit, isn't it?
