That's not really the truth for Linux: it also does D-Bus calls to
xdg-desktop-portal. While this isn't really a GUI thing by its own, I
imagine calling QtDBus from QtCore is going to be a problem. There's
also portalWindowIdentifier virtual which gets overloaded by xcb and
wayland QPAs so in case xdg-desktop-portal wants to present a dialog
regarding opening the URL, it gets parent window from Qt which allows
the dialog to be modal.
