So, which are the most advanced GUI frameworks that have ever existed, and why are they superior to GPUI or egui?

Which company in the past needed a GUI more than Microsoft? Maybe they have the answer? Or Apple?

I don't think social media apps are GUI heavy enough to have developed something advanced in this field.

GUI complexity and application complexity are two different things

arguments in the post sound reasonable but conclusion is off.

all of the alternatives suck. you can complain about egui in particular but immediate-mode libraries have an overwhelming set of advantages and actually scale better with more complex ui.
