Mins here being short for minutes, not minis.

		And, presumably for a combination of the Mac build (and hardware) being of niche interest and sitting outside the standard Linux workflows so it's annoying to administer. And serving a money-making audience (iOS app devs) who have a revenue stream and see the extra CI cost as worth it.

What is a macOS mini…

		Not “mini”, “mins” -> minutes.
