I don’t understand why any user would have to care or even know what GUI toolkit an app uses.
I don’t know why the burden is put on the user/DE. You shouldn’t have to care about what GUI toolkit your DE uses either.
DE and themes should be decoupled from eachother. So the user can install whatever “theming system” they want, and GUI toolkits should aim to support as many theming systems as practical.
GUI toolkits are implementation details, the user doesn’t care about implementation, it cares about what it sees. And what it sees is the colors and icons.
