(2) I am not sure whether SKIA is really working on macOS. Although I have
not investigated this in detail, my understanding is that SKIA is currently
only implemented for Linux and Windows. If this is correct SKIA preference
option is misleading for macOS. For macOS SKIA is an interesting option as
Open GL is deprecated on macOS and SKIA has Metal support. On the other
hand Open GL should not be disabled until a replacement has been
implemented for macOS too.
It's important to differentiate between Skia (or OpenGL) and LO VCL backends
using them. Currently the only VCL backends that use Skia or OpenGL are
the 'win' and 'gen' backends, which means Skia or OpenGL can be used only on
Windows or on Unix with the gen backend that ~nobody uses in practice.
Other VCL backends such as the Mac one can be presumably made to use these
too. I haven't done anything with Skia related to Mac because I don't have a
Mac.
