Yeah because that single guy that needs to code all security patches has to finish iOS first before he goes to another building to work on macOS?
We are often discussing (me included) Apple moves like they have very little resources to do anything. Then I think again and d'oh.

However, there still are teams that predominantly do macOS, iOS, etc, and there always have been engineers who worked on multiple platforms. Historically, the barriers have mostly been against porting iOS technology to macOS, but that hasn't been an issue in several years.
