Please bring MacOS compatibility back.

Tell apple to stop forcing people to use the metal API, and to update the version of OpenGL they ship.

Chance of this running on a Mac is about the same as getting it running on a ZX Spectrum.

First Apple dropped support for the graphics library the game used.

Then they dropped Intel as well.

Just using an Windows Emulator isn't an option because the employer doesn't allow it on the companies MacBook?

It actually works on mac via one of the compatibility layers; another option is geforce now.

Stop using a hardware provider that makes is so difficult to build and support for only 2% of the gaming market. Game studios and publishers look at what the ROI will be to support a given platform. Why should a studio/publisher establish, maintain and support the cost of a whole tool chain and build pipeline when they will likely never see a return that justifies the resource investment (time and money)?

It is a business, not a charity.

MacOS runs on linux doesn't it - I have one for work as well and was disappointed that there wasn't a steam proton option. Would be nice, as the OP says, to be able to use it when traveling, but I get why most companies wouldn't bother. The very very small number of games that support the metalAPI actually run surprisingly well. But they are very few.

Not as seamless as Proton on Linux, but you can run Elite via Whiskey/Crossover.
