Nice idea. The problem is the GPU. It's not supported by Metal, which is basically the main requirement for newer versions of MacOS.

Not being able to use the latest OS is not really the thing I have a problem with. It's the fact Xcode is so tied to the OS that it's impossible to run it on older versions of MacOS. That's a shitty way to force people to upgrade. Especially given the version of the OS I do have installed is only three years old. Visual Studio 2019, on the other hand, still supports Windows 7, which was released 11 years ago.
