I've used emacs nearly daily, most of that time with emacs --daemon and computer uptimes measured in months, on macOS (nee OS X) for nearly 20 years. It works fine. I've never encountered whatever issue this post is about in all that time. I cannot think of an instance when emacs froze up on me.
~22 years of daily Emacs on MacOS, and never encountered (or never noticed) it, either. Perhaps a build issue. I think my Linux builds may run slightly better, and Windows slightly worse, but I haven't had a problem on Mac in decades.
The funny thing is I bought a mac some years ago because Emacs was installed by default. Sadly does bot come anymore installed, probably because of bad support
Tbh I'd avoid MacOS if I can't run emacs on it.

"inflexible ideology" is the dominant paradigm for Apple is it not?
Mēh! Maybe not "inflexible", more "inscrutable", very hard to discern any method to their madness....
