Is this opinion based on firsthand experience with use of the Tile/ttk 
widgets on any of the relevant platforms?

I'm not a Windows user, so I can't speak about that platform, but I have 
worked very hard to make my Python-Tile-Tk app consistent with both the 
look and feel of OS X: keyboard shortcuts, menu behavior, and so on. 
It's mainly a matter of attention to detail, and listening to user 
feedback. I've gotten good feedback on my applications in recent months 
as I've implemented more and more platform native behavior, and sales of 
these applications (I'm a shareware developer) reflect that.

I'd be interested to hear how, in your experience, Tk/Tile is inherently 
unable to deliver native platform "feel," in a way that reflects on the 
toolkit rather than the developer.  It's fine to focus on Windows if 
that's your area of expertise.
