As a web developer, some won't even get to the question 'in what sense does Safari differ?' because you can't even use it outside of macOS.

Firefox, Chrome and Edge/IE can all be installed in one way or another on any of the 3 major platforms (if you include 3rd party tools). For free even.

In what way can IE be installed on any of the 3 platforms that Safari cannot? macOS is just as capable of running inside a VM than Windows, if that's what you mean.

You have to buy macOS, and you can't legally run macOS in a VM on non-Apple hardware. Microsoft on the other hand provides VM images with various IEs and Edge for free, regardless of you being a customer or not.

macOS/OS X has been free for quite some time. And it's not illegal, it just violates the EULA - there is a distinction.

I don't understand your point. Is it sarcasm?

I would really like to know where Apple offers a way to install/use Safari (desktop) on Linux. It would be great for tests.

I indeed meant they all offer an installation method on the 3 major platforms themselves.

As far as I know, Apple doesn't provide a desktop macOS/Safari environment which you can install/use on Windows or Linux. As I understand, OS X Server could be considered in that light, but it differs and isn't free.
