Because (1) the macOS host support in QEMU is not very well
maintained, so the default is "it doesn't change", and
(2) the "use SDL" option seems to have worked for at least
some people in the past: here's a bug report from 2019
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1847906 where the
reporter said that cocoa didn't work for him but SDL did,
for instance.
