It's pretty much this: 
https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/14#issuecomment-1988461271. Basically 
the GTK keyboard shortcuts don't work on macOS and even if they worked, users 
don't know this because they are used to normal macOS behavior. Then it's the 
matter of favorite folders in the sidebar which one can normally define once 
and then they arte used in all the dialogs - that doesn't work with the GTK 
dialog. Finally, when using the native dialog, on macOS at least, the operating 
system automatically grants read/write "protected folder" file access without 
additional permission popup - this doesn't happen for GTK dialogs because they 
are "some foreign code" and the system doesn't know it was the user's explicit 
file selection.
