The submitted title buries the lede. It should be:

Also Mac only, since non Mac users won't have a clue what metal means in this context.

“Mac-only” was disappointing to read, but OBS’ render performance has been fine on macos and linux even with older hardware. James Webb calls anything heavier than helium “metal.”

Well Metal is the limitation there.

But they’ve clearly learned a lot that will help in the future with other modern APIs like DX12 or Vulcan.

It actually wasn't, though.

That's besides the point though, the OS has been trash for realtime encoding for over a decade now. At the very least you have to write a script to repeatedly renice the process back to the top when it tries to protect you from the excessive thermal load lmao
