macOS does not seem like an OS that has been optimized much at all in regards to the CPU.

Also, Apple dragged macOS from PPC to x86; switching x86 implementations is no big deal for the rest of the world, it surely should not be a challenge for Apple.

Yeah. People have done AMD Hackintoshes. It's more likely that they have some agreement with Intel that prevents them from going AMD for the CPU.
