It really isn't. Most of my work is done in R and I need to be able to compile packages for both my own work and sometimes to use the latest features of other packages. Pretty much every big R and macOS release has resulted in SOMETHING breaking. It was Apple's choice to disable openMP in clang on macOS, Apple's choice to to enable hardened runtime forcing me to manually install R binaries that aren't notarized so I can actually debug my crap, Apple's choice to move the C++ headers again, etc. Apple's choice to require GDB to be signed to do anything with it. It just ate up tremendous amounts of my time for Apple's reasons.

Then you have other poor choices to deal with like being the only OS with no support for MTP out of the box, and most mind bogglingly can't even adjust volume of HDMI/DP devices.
