Apple Ramps Up R&D Intensity to Pre-iPhone Levels

HFS Origins: The Turbo File System (2017)
I think NeXT might've written an HFS Standard reader or something, but they used the Apple code for HFS+ so it ended up as a hybrid.

Windows 11 Insider Preview — Rust in the Windows Kernel
Mach message passing and objc message passing have no relation. I don’t think xnu contains much if any objc.

Apple M1/M2 systems can now run Windows games like as Cyberpunk 2077, Diablo 4 and Hogwarts Legacy thanks to its new emulation software - VideoCardz.com
Obviously not all of its, but they contribute quite a bit. https://opensource.apple.com/releases/

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
here is the kernel source (they have branches for each individual macos release with its darwin kernel ver, macos 13 is ver 8792.xx.x for instance): https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac
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.

- Believe it or don't, Idc, but I am the dude who "forced" Apple to open-source everything. Hackintosh ftw :D

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

Improving Firefox Responsiveness on macOS
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
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.
