Would you spend money buying a Mac just for this software?

  Maybe a virtual-machine ?

    Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware is a violation of the EULA. Sure, Apple don't seem to care about it at the moment, but it's still technically something you can be sued over. Downloading macOS in the first place is also a violation of copyright law if you don't own either a Mac or a copy of OS X 10.7. It's also probably a violation of the Mac App Store TOS if you don't own a Mac, which I guess could lead to getting kicked out of the Apple Developer Program if they ever start cracking down on Hackintoshes.

      Sierra works alright in VMware, even w/ design apps. The showstopper for most is that you can't really use anything > a 1080p monitor w/o squinting, b/c of some peculiarity with macOS ui scaling.

        I do apologise - looks like the big issues have actually been fixed since I last tried this.

  I replied to the wrong comment but no, you don't need a Mac to want to learn about options available to people you might work with, or to find a feature you then try to find an equivalent for on your OS, or to know about if you get a Mac later, or to get inspiration for your own offering. I'm shocked people on here of all places are so shortsighted they'd mass downvote for implying that software announcements are useful even if you can't use the software yourself. Are hardware announcements are pointless unless you plan on buying the hardware at the moment it's announced?
