But why? Whats the use case?

Some people need to run macOS-only software, this potentially makes it a bit less painful than the alternatives for the same reason containerized versions of other finicky setups do.

In the README there's a blurb with:

> Run Mac OS X in Docker with near-native performance! X11 Forwarding! iMessage security research! iPhone USB working! macOS in a Docker container!

> Conduct Security Research on macOS using both Linux & Windows!

I can imagine this being useful for CI builds, for instance. On the other hand, this is probably against Apple’s license agreement, so businesses would want to stay away from it.
