It's actually pretty common that GnuCash fails to launch after Gatekeeper verification. Just double-click the icon again and it starts right up.
BTW, Homebrew is a bit deceptive about their GnuCash "recipe": It doesn't install GnuCash in the Homebrew environment or even use any other part of Homebrew, it just downloads one of our DMGs.
