Setting `set macthinstrokes` doesn't have any effect

MacVim/MMCoreTextView.m の755～758行付近にあるリンク先のコードから始め、Core Text の処理を、リンク先の iTermGraphicsUtilities.m のコードと比較します。gvim --clean と :set macthinstrokes を使って動作を再現し、その後、細いストロークの設定によってレンダリングされたフォントが期待どおりに変わることを確認します。

It looks like there has been regression and the set macthinstrokes option stopped working at some point

Describe the bug
set macthinstrokes doesn't change the way the font is rendered

To Reproduce

1. Run gvim --clean
2. Set the thin strokes option with :set macthinstrokes
3. Observe nothing happens, the font is exactly the same as it was before running the command

Expected behaviour
The font should be slightly thinner

Additional context

MacVim uses exactly the same API as iTerm2

MacVim:
https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/blob/ef048edbb7aa6a65d11c7345ea7ca71d9748462a/src/MacVim/MMCoreTextView.m#L755-L758

iTerm2:
https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/c52136b7c0bae545436be8d1441449f19e21faa1/sources/iTermGraphicsUtilities.m#L43-L51

In iTerm2 it is working great, so apparently, there is something wrong and that code in MacVim is never reached

Here are the iTerm2 screenshots:
