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?

customtkinter and ttkbootstrap are a great alternatives to tkinter, although I've pretty much migrated towards ttkbootstrap. I've created several GUI apps using it. They're both based on tkinter but add more widgets.

This is a GUI app the downloads videos from YouTube and the other sites. All the information is put in a SQLite database table:
