I find it a little bit amazing that we now live in time where features in mainstream applications ship for the Mac before they ship for Windows.

You mean like how IE5 for Mac in 2000 had a variety of features IE for Windows lacked, including much superior CSS support?
There was so much more than that, too... Mac IE5 had full support for transparent PNGs, a download manager, an auction manager (!), and a bunch of different color themes to match Apple's product line. It was easily better than even MSIE6, and it's a shame that Microsoft essentially abandoned the product after release, along with the Tasman rendering engine it used.
It's because of MacOS's dark mode is a little more established the Win10's. It makes sense to release the feature there first.
