One of the developers will probably be able to point to the specific 
reasons and the specific announcements by the GnuCash project. But as an 
onlooker I can tell you that the people behind GTK2 moved on to GTK3, 
and now GTK4. Their recommendation to everyone was to use the overlap 
time of GTK2 and GTK3 simultaneous support to move apps from GTK2 to 
GTK3. Then, with the release of GTK4, they stopped supporting GTK2. If 
GnuCash were not to move forward along with the GTK project, they would 
have no way to get bug fixes and improvements from the GTK project. 
There is a lot more to GTK than just the 2D vs 3D look. IMHO it is a 
wise decision for GnuCash to move forward as recommended by their tool 
providers.
