Might be best to look at Qt then, not all the other places.

I didn't really get to the very bottom of it but it seems they wanted to 
add GTK3 but were unable to build it on their RHEL 6 build platform.  
Due to concerns about upgrading to RHEL 7 being too big a change too 
late, the just aren't building GTK3.  To be fixed by moving to RHEL 7 
for Qt 5.8.  In the mean time, what was previously called 'gtk' is now 
called 'gtk2'.

qt5-styleplugins is a platform specific distribution package.  Seems 
like each distribution should have added dependencies on it if they 
wanted the gtk style that was moved there.  In Qt itself it sounds like 
gtk2 (was gtk) moved from qtbase to qtstyleplugins.
