MacOS is a great choice of Apple development.
For anything else? Not so much. It's too different from "normal" unicies for a smooth experience. At that level, you're probably much better off with a customized BSD or Linux distribution.

"but should he really care if everything "just works"."
That devolves into "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin" territory. First of all, define "just works". And for whom. And for how long. And for what reason(s). And to what end. Etc.
