10 years ago I flashed modified bios to unlock virtualization on my core2duo cpu, good times

Nice!

Some years ago I flashed patched bios to run "not supported" wifi card on HP notebook. For some reason they had a whitelist of wireless modules you can use. Pretty sure I used that website for patching said bios.

A few years ago I was really into overclocking and wanted to mess with my RAM. Didn't really get good timings, so I flashed a custom bios for better RAM stability (and also termination resistance settings iirc) on my Biostar X370 GT7. Didn't really help much sadly.

Same to get do the same thing on a x220 to run macOS

Mmmmm. No where does it say that this is an exclusively made for Microsoft Windows OSes ... only.

I found out the hard way by attempting to download their product, and there it shows, Microsoft-only.

What are you talking about? The BIOS has very little to do with the OS. Sure the flasher may be OS specific, but there are often alternative methods for eg. for Linux.

What exactly are you calling "their product"?
