The problem with that is that there's no migration path. This kind of thing probably needs to be done from the bottom up, so we need to unify the underlying object systems (QObject and GObject) first, then the platform abstraction layer (QPA and Gdk/Glib) etc..
This would be hard if there were only a technical issue and everybody agreed that this is the direction to go. But that's not the case, so I don't think it's ever going to happen. And just to be clear: that's a Bad Thing in my opinion.

It's easy to write that without taking a look at history and at the huge difficulties that would require such change.

Automated ported can get quite a long way, when you consider just the code. KDAB has some tools that can do most of the porting from Motif to Qt, and I bet it wouldn't be harder for GTK to Qt.
Not that it would ever happen, of course. As you say, the past history would prevent it.
