Here is some more visual evidence that Qt doesn't care that much about 
how things look on macOS. Both screen captures where made on macOS, one 
with the native and one with Qt's own fusion style. With the Qt's macOS 
native style, apart from the groupboxes not being easily to see, the 
checkboxes are misaligned and the spaces between them is way too narrow.

Anyway, if overriding is no option, then I suggest to at least use the 
default group boxes *on macOS*.
