AFAIK Tk simply wrapped native widgets though? E.g. when the result was ugly, then that was because the platform's native UI framework was ugly.

It did not. It had/has its own widget set.

It didn't look ugly by early 90s standards (basically Motif look&feel) but didn't evolve.

It also always felt like a foreign body inside Python because Tcl was always still there along with it.
