Hmm.  Interesting.  I don't know what package ever had
/Applications/kicad/Kicad/Contents/SharedSupport/scripting/plugins missing
a .app in /Applications/kicad.app/, but the Mac package has had a lot of
history.

What's the next step here... add some words saying "Modern macOS installs
likely have them at XXXXX, but if it doesn't seem like these are right, try
running

import pcbnewprint pcbnew.PLUGIN_DIRECTORIES_SEARCH

in the scripting console"?
