They *have* to use the platform protocols, so why should dragging files 
or other objects run through an widgetset instead of using the API directly?

Didn't you complain about the complex structure of even simple controls 
in gtk2? Using the platform API doesn't require any widgetset specific 
code, no need for adapations to new widgetsets.
