Opus works in macOS natively in QuickTime, but only if contained in a CoreAudioFormat container (.CAF). Tested on macOS Mojave, it works. They simply never implemented any kind of support for OGG.

macOS us the least of a problem. I don't even see a reason to use QuickTime when there is VLC that supports everything. The real deal are iOS and web browsers on both macOS and iOS. IIRC I've tried CAF in Chrome and Safari but neither worked.

Sadly until they implement the OGG container there isn't a lot to do about Opus on iOS. They could also gasp consider adding support for Vorbis and Theora, but I think they would rather stop making computers than do it at this point.
