There's value to having the POTENTIAL to be used cross-platform, even if the platform in question is one that "isn't interested in" OSS: it nearly always ends up helping point out iffy code etc. And there's value to it for OSS devs *in general* who use GTK for their apps: Firefox, Handbrake, and so on get an easier life creating and/or supporting builds on those platforms. (IDK if Handbrake uses GTK or not, it's just an example of a cross-platform tool that even IOS users might use).
Maybe the dickishness is just from people who think the time would be better spent fixing bugs and lost functionality caused by the move from GTK2 to GTK3, who feel like they're "more important" than users of other platforms, or something like that. *shrug*.
