Oh, `file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES)`. For some reason, I kept reading it as the genex, sorry.

It doesn’t search `PATH` for the same reason that `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` are ignored on Linux and macOS. See [this answer](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/runtime-dependencies-cannot-find-dll/3782/4).
