What is inferior to macOS to Windows? (in addition to games, etc.)

Apple Open Source Resources
Apple releases a Game Porting Tool, based on open-source platform Wine, which can translate DirectX 12 into Metal 3, a potentially massive step for Mac gaming

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac
3 projects | /r/Steam | 7 Jun 2023

Apple does plenty of open source stuff. Safari's browser engine, Swift, libdispatch, the XNU kernel used by iOS and macOS, etc. And macOS is generally packed with open source things, like the default shell, zsh. Also, Metal actually predates Vulkan, so Vulkan was definitely not established when they started focusing on Metal. Yeah, they probably should consider supporting Vulkan now, but it's nothing to do with open source. The main beneficiaries of Apple supporting Vulkan would be people porting closed-source games.
DirectX 12 Support on macOS

It's still not a great thing to do. Apple used to contribute a lot more, even if some of their stuff was exclusive to their platform. https://opensource.apple.com

There's quite a bit of macOS that's open source. The author links to source code in Firefox, and that source code has links to Apple's source code:

A Close Look at a Spinlock
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Nov 2021

Yes, but it's not so uncommon for "spinlocks" to evolve into not-actually-spinlocks. In the Linux kernel, spinlock_t is actually a mutex if PREEMPT_RT is enabled [1]. And Darwin has some code to do this in userspace [2], although I'm not sure if it's actually used.
