GNOME people don't like CMake (they use meson). The philosophy behind 
CMake is to let upstream projects provides their own CMake configuration 
packages rather than providing Find modules for every single library 
existing in the world.

CMake should already not provide any of these, but this general 
recommendation came after.

It's the same thing for pkg-config, pkg-config by itself does not 
provide any .pc file.

Also, Gtk is much more tied to Linux than being portable. I think that's 
why portable software don't use Gtk that much and thus, not CMake either.
