And I own Monsterovich Corp.[...]

A made up company that most likely never existed. And even if it existed, nobody would be insane enough to endure a moron like you as a CEO for more than a month. You're really a pro...

GIMP already breaks the Unix philosophy as it does many things.

Nope. It does one thing and one thing only. And that is raster graphic manipulation.

Yeah, yeah, I'll take your word for it, as well.

No distribution today bundles GTK1. Or Qt1 or Qt2.

Linux "backwards compatibility" is a myth and a lie.

You are a lie. He never said that GTK 1 is bundled with any distribution today. But that's simply because there aren't any applications left that need it that any maintainer cares to keep around. But the magic of Linux is, most stuff is Open Source. You can take the GTK 1 source code at any time, get it running on any modern Linux system and then use any GTK 1 app you want. You can't do such things with Windows or macOS.

LOL You obviously don't use Linux in any real capacity.

Updating the a new version of GTK should now be much easier, though why not just wait for GTK5 and work on more useful stuff?

Yeah, i think that is probably the way. GTK5 is not that far away in terms of "Gimp-time".
