I don't see that as a problem, if I can query for it I'd welcome that
this is possible on other platforms. The common denominator problem is
causing more damage to Java UIs.

If you want to write applications today you need to exploit the native
platform as much as possible, so IMHO WORA is not getting you anywhere.
What JavaFX gives me is LORA (learn once run anywhere).
