Mac apps will expect a full set of Mac hardware (not just the CPU), so you’d probably need to run a full virtual Mac for compatibility. Not impossible, but I expect it’s not a priority either.

What is that full set of Mac hardware that we are not aware of?
There's no such thing. Apple sells the Mac Mini, which is nothing but a box and it runs everything fine.
I can’t figure out what this means. For an iOS device, sure, but a Mac? What hardware does a Mac Mini, say, have that the Vision can’t provide?
It's an SOC. It's in the name.
Like what? A macbook is just a screen, connected keyboard and trackpad. This thing has the equivalent of all of that.
What? No, that's not how any of this works.
