Apple also doesn’t offer an x86 “server” yet Azure DevOps offers Mac build servers.

Yes because Microsoft got a special license from Apple that allows for the virtualization of Mac OS on non Apple hardware...
The rest of us is still running on racks of Mac Minis

This isn’t true.

> Please be aware that during this preview, our Mac hardware is hosted in third party datacenters in the United States and your build and release data could cross geopolitical lines. After each build completes, its macOS VM is reimaged, leaving no trace of your data on the agent. For more information, see where VSTS data is stored. Our Mac datacenters will expand to other geographies soon

Do you have a source for this claim? As far as I’m aware Azure racks mac minis and has no special license, but I’d be fascinated to be wrong.
