(For example, I need to deliver this on macOS and don't have a > mac machine myself, where do I obtain the binaries to make my app > distributable?) there are no doubt a few reasons. here are a couple: 1) GTK+ if I'm not mistaken was developed first and primarily on Linux and maybe *BSD systems, which all seem to have "third party" (not app, not library) package management/installation applications which make this a non-issue. 2) it's a volunteer project, and probably no one has had time to make this type of process really easy.
