Cause it's obviously a Rust crate, you would kinda hope that it might compile at MacOs. In 99% of cases that works.

If a Rust crate uses anything from the OS, and doesn't mention that OS, I wouldn't expect it to work on that OS, regardless if it's Windows, Linux or macOS. Just like graphical crates state what APIs they support, and if Metal is not mentioned for example, it is most likely not supported.
You wouldn't know unless running crate install.

I use lsof -i a lot on Mac, its not that I'm criticizing, but mostly disappointed.
