macOS does it on reboot, not sure if it inherited this from BSD proper
1 comments

FreeBSD comes with a "periodic" script to do it daily, but it's not enabled by default.

There's this idea that macOS is "based on BSD", but that's not really the case in any meaningful way; it took some components, but the system overall isn't really "based on it" as such.
