I don't understand this question. GPUI's unstable to non-existing a11y, IME, RTL etc. support is well documented.

What you posted doesn't match my experience, so I curious how you arrived at the conclusion that building a GUI application is like building a web browser, and why the abstraction layers you described are necessary as a baseline. I am asking you to post links to the rust GUI applications you've built where you ran into this.

But that's not what I wrote at all?

The way you phrased it, it's not. However if you've used Discord, you know that to render it you're essentially rebuilding a web browser due to the sheer variety of formatting, images, animation, audio, videos, languages, widgets, and whatnot that must all coexist in arbitrary forms in every server/room/forum.
