To be honest, I don't know the exact reason for the darwin < - > macOS 
comparison in the code besides a sanity check. We went over 12 years 
without having to deal with versioning problems, then Apple changed OS 
naming from 10.x to 1X.Y, which introduced one problem, but the 
kernel/OS relationship stayed constant. Then since 11.6 they've messed 
with that as well, but at least only towards the end of the release's 
life cycle.
