Why not create a framework that is not platform specific, like AIR?

What are the great hooks into the OS that are so necessary that a person can't write an app thats run on all three major platforms (or at least have the option to)?

It depends how native you want to be. AIR or wx works fine, but to really get native look and feel you must write a separate front end for each platform using the native toolkit.
