Apple already offers this for Devs.

As of like 2 months ago, sure. And even then it's still in beta now. We've been using Macs this way since long before Apple decided to grace us with their nonsense implementation.
So does MS with Azure Devops & GitHub: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/ecos... https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/pipelines-xcode/blob/master...

It's great that there are finally multiple ways to do this without needing to buy a bunch of Macs just for compiling.

This feature doesnt seem to be compliant with MacOS's 24 hour per customer limit, so I suspect it will disappear at some point (or change to be more like AWS's offering)
If you're already using AWS it's a no-brainer to avoid a second vendor if you don't have to use them for other reasons.
