Why mention Linux and Windows but not macOS, out of curiosity?

Probably because macOS don’t need replacing :^)

No, my real guess is that the author is using Windows and Linux and not macOS in the first place.

Apple operating systems are not intended to be replaced, and design choices make it more difficult to do so than Windows or Linux.

Unless you also have the means to manufacture your own end-user devices that have feature parity with Apple devices, there is no practical way to replace MacOS. Getting non-Apple OEMs to ship your OS with their PCs is probably not happening but at least in the realm of being conceivable.
