I think one big issue is fundamental build differences between Linux and macOS. So many things build beautifully for one platform and not another, and it’s really frustrating to just want to use some piece of software that is not tested on another platform because the devs just don’t have a Mac.

I agree that it papers over underlying portability issues, but I personally don’t want to deal with some generous maintainer who built a good piece of working software but with no MacOS support.
