I don't know if that is an accurate depiction.

If that can reassure you, one of the primary reasons the "libadwaita"
widgets/style library exists, for instance, is to separate out the
GNOME-specific widgetry from GTK itself, so that GTK is not a GNOME-
specific toolkit. It is meant to work on other DEs and other OS
platforms too, after all (on a best-effort basis depending on the
availability of volunteers to help maintain those ports), and various
other apps (like GIMP, Inkscape, etc.) rely on that.

Of course, yes there are major differences between the 14-years-old (!)
GTK3 architecture and the "new" GTK4 series; it's a completely different
architecture with a whole different rendering engine, for starters.
Everything is GPU-accelerated with OpenGL and Vulkan now instead of
doing stuff on the CPU with Cairo. There are tons of things that were
downright impossible to do (and/or very slow) in GTK3 that are now
performant in GTK4, and I've definitely seen the difference in practice,
especially on Wayland.

So yes, it's significant amounts of work to port from one major version
to the other (as has always been the case, AFAIK), but it's worth it,
IMHO.
