Macs in Motion Design, advertising and show visuals are a lot less rare.

Just for clarity, I didn't cancel anything, I just let it lapse, now I will buy another license.
Karma is definitely not as niche as you make it out to be, many large vfx studios do oyu Karma, as a mac user you can not contribute efficiently.

I do agree it is wishful thinking without a formal response. The idea is also not to have Mac render farms(althoug way back when this was very common), but to have a unified system. If I use redshift, there is no issue working between different OS, that's what we need.

Keyshot also just announced that you are able to use Mac hardware, so does Octane, so does Redshift. I am definitely not claiming, and I don't see that being claimed anywhere, that mac has superior hardware but Macs are used in production and it would be better if we can fully use the software we pay for.

Yes it is disappointing. I actually let my Redshift license lapse because I was sure that 22 would be a unifying update. Redshift is just so much faster than Karma on MacOs, because they do support the GPU cores. I really don't want to use Redshift, the procedural primitives, super responsive workflow etc are just so important for my workflows but I'm losing a huge chunk of speed by using Karma.

Even some kind of experimental, not 100% compatible Beta/Alpha release would really help the Mac community out.
