Or in other words, how are those names decided on MacOS ? As far as I know on linux and Windows the names are hardcoded to use the compile time application name unless overridden by setting GNC_DATA_DIR and GNC_CONFIG_DIR environment variables. The latter (GNC_CONFIG_DIR) is only introduces in GnuCash 3.4.
