"Apple hasn’t provided any information on the matter and did not respond to requests for comment.

Darwin is already open source, albeit Apple does a code dump every few years iirc: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)

Darwin doesn't even remotely resemble MacOS. It's the kernel and open-sourced user-land components. It resembles(but is not at all) a very old FreeBSD-ish system if loaded.
