This workaround should no longer be required, as it should have only been in use when compiled with the 10.7 SDK, which we haven't been building with for a while now.

The bugreport linked with this code is for an unrelated? issue, however from what I can tell the correct QTBUG is this one https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-20880. Reading though the discussion there, it seems that the way progress bars are animated changed in macOS 10.10.
Qt was patched here (5.5+):
Given all of that, I don't think this is worth keeping around, as it would seem to only be useful in the case that a macOS user is compiling with a Qt < 5.5. That should be pretty unlikely, as we don't support downloaded Qt binaries, and brew currently provides 5.11.1.
