Because the operating system only supports devices with limited memory and storage.

I would love to run macos on my beefy workstation. But MacOS support for AMD Ryzen sucks.

It's not that Mac hardware is only available with limited memory and storage (you can get a MacBook Pro with 128 GB of RAM and 8 TB of storage, or you can get a Mac Pro and throw in a bunch of M.2 drives on PCIe cards), it's just that the pricing on them is ridiculous.
But that’s not a problem of macOS.
It's not a problem of macOS in the strictest sense but we're talking about highly vertically integrated platforms. You don't get macOS without a mac, so it _is_ a macOS problem in that sense.
