There are themes that mimic GTK apps on Qt and vice versa and they look like crap.
But in my opinion Qt apps also look like crap on Windows and Mac. They look somewhat like a native app, but everything is off.
For example, if you have a Qt app on Windows and you click a menu separator, the menu closes, <s>like it would do on Mac</s>. On Windows, clicking a menu separator should do nothing, the menu should remain open. There are dozens of little annoyances like that. Not to mention padding/spacing of elements, etc.
Of course, Qt is very useful. I've worked with it (using QWidgets) and I've liked it a lot, despite of its drawbacks. But it's certainly not native. It merely emulates the target interface.
So because Microsoft has lowered the bar, now everything can be called "native"? There's a reason many people hate UWP.

Native doesn't mean "it's not written in JS" or "it's fast". Native means "it uses the GUI toolkit of the target platform". And Qt doesn't do that, it merely mimics its appearance.
The rules literally say:
>You shall Fight racism and discrimination
Which, on my book, is left wing. (And open to be arbitrarily enforced. How do I prove I've been fighting discrimination?)
