If a distro is committed to modifying the style sheets to look like macOS, then it should be the distro’s responsibility to maintain the applications. Precisely because the distro market for Linux is so varied, it is hard for Gnome app developers to support all possible theme configurations. Read the banner at the top of the page again. It doesn’t ask users to stop customizing, and it doesn’t say there shouldn’t be distros with custom theming. It just asks distros to stop shipping broken apps as a result of theming, and it asserts that if that’s the route you want to go, then you are on your own. |

Reading carefully between the lines, I think they actually do hint at that:
> Please don’t theme our apps
> This is why we ask respectfully that our applications not be themed.
> On a platform level, we believe GTK should stop forcing a single stylesheet on all apps by default.
> If you are a distribution who changes the system stylesheet and icons, please reconsider this decision.
> If you do, we ask that you please stop theming our apps.
