Assuming that questions on Stack Overflow are an approximate poll of what application authors do - many application authors go to the documentation and do exactly that.

We are getting a bit off the topic of the thread, but this is an interesting observation.

Can you link to some examples of this? I would be curious why that is the case - i.e. which medium was used to consult the documentation, because on the website deprecated classes are quite clearly marked in a separate section at the bottom of the reference (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/).
