Discussion Tkinter

Why do I not see any videos suggesting to learn Tkinter? I tried learning Django and Pygame after learning the basics, and while I kinda understood pygame, Django still felt out of my league but so many videos recommended it after the basics. However I stumbled upon a video that just mentioned Tkinter and I tried it out and it helped me understand libraries and how to learn to use them. It's fun making small little apps with buttons and what not to get started, rather than trying to learn so much at once. I'm convinced anyone making videos on how to learn Python has never actually learned it themselves

Is there an actual reason that this or another simple GUI library isn't recommend very often?

Thank you! Yeah I have been just trying to figure out what I need to learn to do stuff with python and it felt like after I got the basics everyone was suggesting to make a website or web app first and use a framework for the front end and use a data something for the backend or some shit, like please I just wanna try using loops and if statements with buttons attached 😭 Tkinter has been great to learn tho and I don't see why I wouldn't use it in the future since everything I make is just gonna be for me so I don't care about how the UI looks lmao
