It's clearly shows Apple doesn't support Open Source. So few projects. It's embarrassing for the company which sprout out of an Open Source project. For those who don't know, MacOS is a fork of FreeBSD.

Careful with that assertion. macOS is a derivative of NextStep, which is a derivative of 4.4BSD which also spawned FreeBSD and NetBSD. That makes macOS and FreeBSD cousins at best. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like

macOS is absolutely not a FreeBSD fork, but there are lots of bits and pieces in current macOS that are direct derivatives of FreeBSD code, including kernel code, libc and lots of userland stuff.

"The BSD portion of the OS X kernel is derived primarily from FreeBSD, a version of 4.4BSD that offers advanced networking, performance, security, and compatibility features."

That was decades ago. Since then Apple went their own way. Anything of significance has been rewritten or mothballed as legacy baggage. Their open-source efforts were left to wither and die. It's been 14 years since Apple got scared of GPL3 and abandoned everything GNU-related.

If FreeBSDers want to complain they should have used the GPL.
