OK, but that's no different to Windows and Android.

No. Even with apps this is no longer the case (see: "Mac Catalyst"), but it's certainly not true for games. Maybe you'd need to add some keyboard/mouse bindings, but that's about it. Even iPads support keyboards and mice now days!

So if an ios title uses a multi touch gesture how do you replicate that on MacOS?

Every MacBook has a multitouch trackpad. It's rare that I ever use a mouse.

Still doesn't account for desktop devices. And no, it's not a given that every desktop mac user has a Magic Trackpad.
