> GTK1 and GTK2 apps are not being left behind, they work perfectly fine even on a modern system

Wrong, GTK 1 was removed from Debian over 10 years ago: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520441

That doesn't mean it doesn't work. The package was removed because it wasn't getting security updates, however I see no reason why it wouldn't work if you gather all the dependencies and recompile it.
