I totally agree that C++ should have a graphics library and a user 
interface library both.

Have you looked at
    https://wxwidgets.org/

"wxWidgets is a C++ library that lets developers create applications for 
Windows, macOS, Linux and other platforms with a single code base. It 
has popular language bindings for Python, Ruby, Lua, Perl and several 
other languages, and unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets 
gives applications a truly native look and feel because it uses the 
platform's native API rather than emulating the GUI. It's also 
extensive, free, open-source and mature."
