in game UI for your engine

You could have a look at CEGUI or MyGUI. I haven't used either, but as far as I remember both of them implement multiple rendering backends and are/were used in some more or less notable projects.
Best engine/tools to make games that are purely UI?

Openmw uses http://mygui.info for their UI. I remember using it with SDL years ago. Honestly though, c++ isn't worth the hassle in my own opinion.

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.
Why is there no good and easy gui library available for C++ for desktop?

Go ahead and sell an FLTK product then. I'm sure you go to https://www.fltk.org/ and think those GUI's look awesome you delusional moron

FLTK
GUI libraries or frameworks?

A few examples: Dear ImGui, SFML, FLTK. Probably even Tk could be used.

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.

Are there any low-level library options for creating desktop apps?
6 projects | /r/csharp | 6 May 2022

There are a lot of options and they're not that hard to find... Qt, wxWidgets, FLTK, IUP come immediately to mind.
