macOS has been free for, like, 15 years.
Yes, you have to already own an Apple computer, but Apple users don’t pay for OS upgrades.
Technically, anyone could download the OS images, but there’s not a lot that non-Apple users can do with them.
Oh, there is.
I am a web developer and I use this to run Safari and the iOS simulator without paying Apple's "debugging tax".
That’s a limited time opportunity because x86 support is getting dropped with macOS 27.
Unless they don't provide ARM downloads or have some other problem, couldn't you just use the ARM version, because part of what QEMU is is an emulator, to emulate other architectures?
