I'm not sure what you mean by "not practical". It is definitely possible for macOS apps, and it seems to be possible for iOS apps too. I have worked on an open source game, we cross compile for macOS on Linux without any Apple hardware. As far as I understand - or have been told, this violates some Apple license terms.

Surely building a binary that links against their SDK, as long as your are not using their toolchain, must be fine?

It's possible, but it's cheaper and easier to just use a Mac, and the resulting builds will typically work better. For example, does your open-source game notarize your macOS builds? It's easy in Xcode, PITA on Linux, and if you don't, your game is difficult to launch on macOS 10.15 Catalina.
