What frameworks exist that support both MacOS and Windows?
Another dark horse is FLTK: https://www.fltk.org/. For utilities this might be your best choice, especially because static linking is supported. This is mostly a C++ solution but there are bindings to other solutions.

Is there no simple GUI library for pure C?
Fl_Flex (shameless plug!) is now officially in upstream FLTK since 1.4 for a "flexbox style" layout manager.

The state of Rust GUI libraries
FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit) is a lightweight, cross-platform supported toolkit for building GUIs. FLTK is supported on Windows, macOS, and UNIX systems and was originally built for C++. If you use the FLTK toolkit to create a GUI application, the application looks the same on all supported operating systems.
- Add the Wayland platform to FLTK 1.4

Are there any low-level library options for creating desktop apps?
There are a lot of options and they're not that hard to find... Qt, wxWidgets, FLTK, IUP come immediately to mind.

How do I make a GUI?
If you want to start with a smaller GUI lib (instead of the bigger ones), you could use Nana (C++ Library), see also User Works using Nana - it uses modern C++11/14/17 (instead of older C++ like wxWidgets or the external macro processor tool MOC used by Qt).
