Ironically Microsoft is the only OS vendor for mainstream platforms that still ships a GUI SDK that gives tier 1 treatment to C++ with WinUI, and even then the tooling is really clunky (back to VC++ 6.0 COM days).

On the Apple and Google side that ship has long sailed, with C++ used only on the lower OS levels, and as basis for MSL.

Naturally there are still the GUIs for game consoles left (although XBox dashboard uses React Native, with the previous generation being UWP, PS 4 famously used WebGL), and special purpose embedded devices.
