It's not really a Mac problem so much as it's the game makers not making a mac version available. The mac market is small compared to the PC market. Now factor in that Apple CPU's are a different architecture and it makes sense that Linux would have more games written to be compatible with it vs. MacOS. But, just like Linux there are emulators that will let you do it... https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover There are many more out there but that is probably the most widely known.

Market is small. Apple doesn't really care, and have stated it for decades. People who just have a laptop can't really make big use of it. Many don't have mice, they have touchpads, and magic mice aren't great for games. Can't plug in standard USB controllers. And it costs double for significantly worse performance than what you'd be able to get on a PC, which again invalidates the uses. And no building machines, just pre-canned, at that point might as well get a PS5 or Xbox. Its a bit of a perfect storm. If Apple officially wanted it, they'd make the hardware / software support whatever is needed. But they don't so it isn't even a chicken-egg problem. Why would you try to go after a tiny market where the hardware maker treats you as an afterthought at best.
