When you say "open spec", what exactly do you mean? MacOS is built on top of Unix / Debian, which is a much more open system than Windows.

Apple computers have been able to run Windows for a long time.

macOS is quite unrelated to Debian, it is built on the Mach microkernel and FreeBSD kernel/userland bits.

You're right, I fudged Darwin and FreeBSD in my head and got Debian.
