Emacs isn't a run-of-the-mill GTK app, but we only use what the
platform-independent parts of what the GTK developers expose.

They behave that way no matter who asks, which is why most people have
already given up trying to interact with them.  Simple example:
apparently, all the GTK developers have expensive monitors, so modern
font rendering techniques that improve font rendering on Full-HD
monitors have been deleted from GTK 4, and anyone who complains is given
some ridiculous excuse along the lines of "expensive monitors are the
future" and "subpixel font anti-aliasing is not adaptable to our
rendering pipeline", even though multiple people have already proposed
patches that demonstrate the opposite.
