MacOS doesn't force updates for general users. But if you want to run the latest Xcode, yeah you need the latest OS.

Its funny that a compiler forces you to update your OS.
It's a lot more than a compiler.
Yes it has an editor and a debugger, and some other stuff. So what? Its still an application. An application forcing you to update your OS would be laughed out of the room in any other situation. Personally I wouldn't defend such a broken design, but to each his own.
