Comment (by remkos):

 Indeed, it was the developers themselves that decided that the Qt5
 terminal is better. See:
 http://www.gnuplot.info/ReleaseNotes_6_0_1.html

 Here the developers say about X11 (the "classic" interactive interface):
 "This used to be the preferred interactive interface, but the newer wxt
 and qt terminals offer nicer output and a wider range of features."

 See also https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/25789 for the
 decision process during the last port update to version 6.0.1 to adopt the
 developers suggestion to no longer favour the X11 terminal.
