I am following somewhat older instructions to package a pygtk
application for macos and found that `gtk-quartz-engine` has been
removed from gtk-osx-themes.modules last year but there appear to be
no details as to why though:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/commit/eef92a1d23e08b4fb07b35c5f1e8c462798aef62#cb231ea9df6ccb1f59163579b4c65ae85c30e644_121_121

Because it never really worked and hadn’t been maintained for many years. There are several Clearlooks themes that gave a reasonable approximation of Mac UI elements and were more or less stable, but Clearlooks hasn’t been maintained much lately either.
