No, it is not. Here are some platforms where it is not available 
or is very hard to properly build and use:

- Secure Web Environments (where WebGL/WebGPU are blocked)
- visionOS (Apple Vision Pro)
- PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series consoles
- watchOS (Apple Watch)
- RTOS / Microcontrollers (FreeRTOS, Zephyr)

There are probably many more that I did not think of.

However, considering the limited scope of the DlangUI, skia could 
be a good choice.

D has good choices for GUI applications, one of them is giD: 
https://github.com/Kymorphia/gid . Some [really good 
applications](https://github.com/Kymorphia/gid#gid-applications) 
are made with it...
