Because its still in major development? Huge refactors are going on still under the hood. It's a project with a small team working in their free time with a big goal and its some way off. I mean, a BSD-based open source OS binary compatible with mach binaries ... it's very cool IMO and I hope more people get involved

Apple‘s secret sauce is not mach binaries but Cocoa. And tons of resources. And clear leadership.

We have decades-old projects like GNOME, KDE and GNUstep and none of them come close to macOS in terms of „finesse“. Despite some of them having corporate backing.

So I just don’t see that happening for a project with a small team working on it in their free time. Far too ambitious, I‘ve seen projects like this fail too often in the last two decades.
