Hardly.
Pro tip: a denial is not a refutation.
Have been using OSS on Mac for 15+ years, including building packages from
source. Far, far easier than on Windows.
Given that macOS is a single platform it is sometimes even simpler than
linux where there's multiple ways to achieve the same thing depending on
whether it Redhat, debian or ubuntu based and type of kernel you have.
