From what I understand, macOS uses weird kernel implementation, which is almost open source, but not 100% | ||

You're correct, but for a bit more context: The macOS kernel is XNU, which is derived from/based on the Mach kernel, but heavily modified. The kernel itself is open source but some drivers/kernel extensions are not so it's not actually usable (unless you provide your own implementations of those). | ||
