What organization is it, that can't order an employee to use a different OS on a work computer?

When the employee is the CEO who wants to use his iPhone or an owner who wants to use her MacBook, the IT department bends.

And yes, the users are smart enough to see there’s an iOS client so you can’t just tell them “it’s not available”.

We're talking about an open source project.

So if bigcorp wants OS X WireGuard support, they should be able to pay handsomely for it.

If they aren't willing to pay, then I believe the project should just avoid offering it, to avoid getting burnt out from unreasonable requests.

Video editors, designers, and sound mixer are a few example professions where users mostly use Apple products. Most companies have designers.

By now, video editors and sound mixers are heavy windows users, because there's no halfway endurable Apple machine that you can purchase that supports 128GB of RAM and 8+ CPU cores and NVIDIA CUDA. Because like it or not, almost all video editing plugins use CUDA for acceleration.

The industry standard for movie mixing supports: macOS Catalina (10.15.7), macOS Mojave (10.14.6), and High Sierra (10.13.6).

In other words, they didn't even bother with Big Sur yet.
