K8s is kubernetes, Linux containers. If you want to run it on macOS or Windows it runs inside a Linux VM. You might as well buy a Linux computer and SSH into it from your Mac, is the point.

Meaning, it’s not a heavy Virtualbox or Vmware type VM, no ‘vagrant up’ needed.

There's still overhead in running containers on MacOS. File I/O is especially much slower in containers on Mac vs. natively on Linux.
