It is also the only surviving C++ toolkit from C++ GUI Frameworks from the 1990's.
Microsoft can talk as much as they feel like from using WinUI from C++, but their C++ loving team club just messed up the whole tooling. Don't touch it unless feeling nostalgic about using ATL tooling from 2000's.
C++ Builder is great, but given its history and Windows focus, naturally only an option for enterprises with deep pockets.
wxWidgets and JUCE were never part of OS stacks.
Qt is really the only one left, with a quite cool development experience.
I am also migrating my last C++/WinRT endeavour into Qt LTS 6.2, ironically so, as it was originally started on Qt 5.0. :)
