I wouldn’t call GTK the “native” framework on Linux/Wayland or Linux/X11.

Native would be talking to the compositor directly.

GTK provides a cross-platform layer of abstractions over the compositor. That’s the opposite of native.

There’s countless bugs in the Linux port for applications (eg: Firefox) which can’t be fixed because of a he abstractions done by GTK.
