macOS has changed a lot more than Windows or Linux did in the last decade. It's hardly Tarn's fault, here.

macOS is also just a proper PITA through and through. I'm annoyed that I can't play it on my m4 but I also understand that supporting macOS has always been a nuisance.

If I were making games I wouldn't support it either. Apple does just about everything to not support backwards compat.

FWIW DF and DFHack work flawlessly through Crossover on macOS on my M2 and my M5

It’s kind of insane that we can play windows x86_64 games on macos arm almost perfectly. I got a bit annoyed with it being slightly jank and built a (linux) gaming pc for my kids in the end but it worked fine for most things for a while.
