That's not what use.desc says gtk does.  You just illustrated how confusing
the gtk/gtk2 use flag situation has been.

The gtk use flag doesn't specify a version.  It just says that the package
should build against *a* version of gtk+.  The gtk2 flag was a way to
prefer the gtk2 interface over the gtk1 interface if a package supported
both.

Thankfully, we've mostly moved past the gtk/gtk2 use flag mess now.
Let's try not to make it quite so hard for people with the qt toolkit.
