I strongly disagree.
GitLab is open core because I can run and use the software in a meaningful way under open source licenses.
MacOs is substantially different because I cannot take their open source kernel and run a functioning version of MacOs

Gitlab may one day also decide that their core is too large and too useful to let everyone play with it too.
Also, you're not strongly disagreeing with me. I said the same thing, the only difference is that you can get most (but not all) of the useful things from whatever GitLab currently considers its core to be.
