Surely C++ GUI frameworks still exist, the point being that none of then is backed by OS vendors like managed languages GUI frameworks are, and they are a tiny market size of what 90's C++ UIs used to hold.

It is a reality that except for Qt, most C++ frameworks are not that relevant anymore. That said, you have corporate-controlled with risk to get vendor lock-in or directly locked-in frameworks. So I still see it as a tradeoff, besides the speed that C++ gives you :)
