Upstream deliberately supports GTK2 and GTK3 to provide users with
choice. The default choice in the ebuild is gtk3, falling in line with
gnome team's recommendations, but gtk2 is available for those who
prefer it that way.

For me to not support gtk2 in the spacefm ebuild would be providing a
package inferior to upstream. Given the divide among users over the
toolkit, I think it's fair to provide support for both where possible,
but lean in the direction of gtk3 for defaults so the Path of Least
Surprise is maintained.

If you have a better recommendation for allowing both toolkits being
supported, I'd be glad to read it.
