At least KDE is working on making their Qt apps cross-platform. Unfortunately most GNOME apps I know of receive updates for a couple years & then die off like this, and will occasionally get replaced. I think the issue partly stems from the pain points that have come with GTK+.
I’m not sure if that’s true. The mint team has their X-Apps project which is designed to be a cross DE GTK app initiative. Having written GTK software I also haven’t found many pain points myself. Most of the problems with gnome seem to be the gnome team and not the surrounding projects.
