That seems really unlikely to me. Catalyst is primarily a tool for porting iOS applications to macOS. Apple already has plenty of ARM-based devices that run iOS applications; there's no reason for them to muddy the waters by introducing another one and calling it a macOS system.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoBy my count, every new built-in app which Apple has introduced in the past two years has been a Catalyst app. It's possible I'm forgetting one, but the trend is pretty clear. Stock apps set the example for how third party apps should use your platform. IMO, Apple is setting a pretty clear example.

- Wowfunhappy 6y agoWow, those aren't Catalyst?! They certainly fooled me! Mind, I'm not sure that's any better: Apple is still setting a pretty clear example for future Mac apps. Mac-specific UIs are out, iOS-esque paradigms are in.
