One can only guess how the PT code base is structured, but it seems to rely quite heavily on the ever changing styles of the Windows API Common Controls etc.
Yes one can render fonts cross platform and tune. And my belief is when you create an application such as ProTools -- consistency is important. Often when one creates a DAW -- you end up creating an internal GUI toolkit.
