Where does it say macOS? I see no mention of any supported platform.
FWIW the x86 version of OPENSTEP 4.2 has been running in virtual machines for some time.[1][2] Previous emulates the NeXT hardware and Motorola processor, and maybe some are interested in that. Personally, I'm really not, but it's an interesting use of emulation (which really only becomes useful when emulating a current platform on another, such as x86 on Apple Silicon or vice versa).

Where did you get Mac from in the first place if the about doesn't mention it?
