You're moving into slippery slope when using this argument. LibreOffice never
feels totally native (workflow or UI wise). It's always been a compromise
because of technically limitations or different UI guidelines between desktop
environments

You're opening a box of Pandora when going all in on: "blend into the OS/DE".
You can't dismiss a feature requests with: we are a cross-platform application
and we have to opt for compromise

For example: Blending into would - entail setting tabbed bar default on Windows
and improving - it matching Windows look and feel.

There is also not a wheel of inventions here. It was OK until started to use
the platform/UI toolkit. So the 'proper' dialog is actually available. It's not
gone, it's not used anymore in favor of UI Toolkit. Which doesn't match
LibreOffice standards regarding functionality. 

Sure it's not nice having to workaround the platform/UI toolkit. And ideally it
shouldn't be needed. It's frustrating, maybe even infuriating. However making
user experience of your app depended outside your control and 'blaming' others
for the lack of functionality doesn't seem mature. And well GTK developers
might have totally different priority's. It might be a corner case in
perspective of a desktop environment, whereas it's more essential for some apps
(like LibreOffice)
