So just to play devil's advocate: is it really that much more work to build something entirely new in Tauri than to just do the porting work for releasing a GTK app on Windows/macOS?

I know it's annoying but it's not like it's impossible, right?

It's really easy to build wrapper apps based around good available libraries in tauri.

That doesn’t answer my question at all.

What exactly is so hard about porting the existing GTK app? That work already exists, anything in Tauri is reinventing the wheel.
