(What is the language specific to the platform?)

Qt is written in C++. GTK is written in C. Both have platform-specific 
portions dealing with the native rendering back-end, e.g. for X11 under 
Linux vs. WinGDI under Windows.

Why not? That is the main reason to use such libraries. The GUI and all 
application code I write requires no changes when compiled for Windows 
or Linux. If I designed, say a Windows only application, I would use 
Win32 API.
