It doesn't have to be a screencast, it's kind of a convoluted process regardless of which operating system you're using [1]. If I'm not mistaken OBS is using the built-in virtual loopback devices available through pulseaudio, but MacOS does not include a virtual loopback device by default, hence requiring a third party one such as Blackhole or loopback.

...what shady stuff are we talking about here? Blackhole [2] is open source software. It's about as shady as any of the (several) linux audio systems.
