You have a point. Ideally, we should use native widgets. But

I find it hard to believe that we are so very special that the rich
ability to use native widgets is not enough for us...
I liked the two-pixel cursor - and so did several others.
Some even have problems seeing the single-pixel cursor
on their screens.
Now, if qt4 can't display a two-pixel cursor, then it is too
restricted. Don't put too much trust in libraries.
The Qt4 library is not at fault here. We (I) hard-coded the width
because it is very wrong to let the user decides this kind of thing if
he choose to.
I, for one, don't agree with this assumption but, hey, I am not a ui
expert so I just followed the majority.
As long as I have my 2-pixel cursor on Windows... ;-)
