We must not do this, because it would undermine our principal message:
nonfree software is an injustice and you should shun it for your
freedom's sake.
Our principle message for MacOS users is NOT "here's how to
install our convenient editor" but "MacOS treats you unjustly."
We must take care, every time we mention MacOS
(or any nonfree system), not to let people assume by default
that we agree with the majority that consider proprietary
software acceptable.
