That isn't fair, all languages besides JS+HTML+CSS have issues with GUI libraries. Either you go Electron/webview or you have to deal with Qt/GTK for cross-platform GUI.

Sure it is fair, Java, C++, C#, VB.NET, Delphi, Objective-C, Swift have quite good GUI libraries available.
And regarding JS+HTML+CSS, they are still on the stone age of RAD tooling.
I think you missed the cross-platform part of my answer.
Some of those languages do have cross-platform GUI offerings.
Even AWT is better than any option currently natively available to Rust.
After all, "using libraries is no longer a pain" is not what I felt when converting an old toy application from Gtkmm to Gtk-rs.
