OK, here's what I'm seeing. When I look in the Documents -> Settings -> Document Class I expected to see something like IEEE Conferences. What I did see was IEEE Transactions, IEEE Transactions Computer Society, and IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, but nothing like IEEE Conferences. However, when I look where the templates are stored, I see four IEEE .lyx files: IEEEtran-CompSoc.lyx, IEEEtran-Conference.lyx, IEEEtran-Journal.lyx, IEEEtran-TransMag.lyx, and indeed the IEEEtran-Conference.lyx opens and displays what I suppose is expected. So the _template_ is present but the _document_class_ item in the Document Class pop-up is missing. Finally, in Preferences -> Paths, the "Document templates:" path is "/Users/me/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.1/templates" but the templates are stored in the LyX.app _packge_, /path/to/LyX/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/ and so one must (1) discover the discrepancy, and (2) navigate to the proper directory. I'll add that the path to the examples does lead to inside the application package, where they are stored. However, I don't see any way to access the examples from the LyX program, so I'm not sure how the user would access them because the Mac user is not expected to dive into the application package directly--if something in the app package is accessible by menu, such as is the templates (File -> New From Template), then that seems OK. (Many of not most Mac users don't even know that they can look inside the app package.) One possible menu choice would be under Help, even if all it did was to open a file browser in the proper place. I believe that I've seen this subject (where to store stuff like templates and examples) discussed on either this list or the dev list. I think either is OK but the path needs to be made consistent with the actual location, and the stuff made accessible by menu.
