So by coincidence I remarked upon this very fact today here

As a lifelong UNIX user and advocate I'd probably be an active macOS user except for one painful fact.
The hardware. Not only does Apple unfairly IMHO restrict macOS to its hardware platforms (yes I know fully about Hackintosh), but if you then bite the bullet even their most powerful computer is underpowered and don't even look at the price unless you have some smelling salts ready.
Since their smartphone market and revenues have gone from strength to strength, their visible enthusiasm for producing current desktop or deskside products has tended to zero. Laptops (macbook pro only obviously, all else is tosh!) are still fairly competitive relatively speaking.

To further add salt to the wounds Apple even admitted their current Mac Pro was uncompetitive, then promised a new one, then backed off saying it would be delayed, but as a stopgap consider the iMac Pro ($$$). Google it. It's almost like they are saying to paid punters "Prove how dedicated to the brand you are but publicly showing yourself and others that you are a total idiot and prepared to buy our overpriced $$$ desktop and deskside hardware."

Hackintosh under VMware is the choice of many to get past some of these defects, but with any OS upgrade you have the distinct possibility to have to rollback to your previous snapshot. (You did make one right
because everything might just break ) . And with a Hackintosh something between small and importantly large might not work too well or at all
---
I'll just finish by mentioning that anybody who loves to know and follow Apple should follow Louis Rossmann. What a guy.

Now as they say, you know everything
