Of course, we do. Displaying text in a GUI window (a.k.a. "frame")
requires Xlib calls on X, Win32 API calls on MS-Windows, etc. And the
fonts available on each platform OOTB are generally different. And
then we have display of images, which again uses platform-dependent
GUI API calls, mouse and keyboard inputs and WM events that are
accessed using platform-dependent GUI API calls, etc.

Experience tells us that users on every platforms generally want Emacs
to look and feel like other GUI programs on that platform.
