I've been guilty of using Baskervald myself. But I agree that's it's not a very good variant of Baskerville (which I like a lot).

Do you happen to know what macOS's "Baskerville" font is exactly? That one looks much better than Baskervald.

Baskervald is not that bad, I use it almost exclusively and I am quite fond of it. Yet, it lacks the liveliness of classic Baskerville. I do not know exactly what it is the difference; but in the french accents it is very obvious.

No idea about your macos question.
