I’m pleasantly surprised Linux is way ahead of OSX. This looks really good!
Hmm. What games are for Mac OS? I have never played a game on a mac ever. Not even seen what can be played.
Not many are officially supported, but there are a few. Baldur’s Gate 3 is one surprising example. Many Paradox games are also supported, like Cities Skylines. Stardew Valley, Terraria and Hades as well.
At least chess:

Love me some computer chronicles!
Not many indeed. There's a switch in your settings to only show you games for your designated OS, or there are symbols below the games' vignettes that tells you which OS is supported: win / mac / steam
Frustrating is famous games from the 32 bits era, where they would be available to Mac but work only on macos pre-10.14 and not from 10.15 when macos went fully 64bits. Which means on top of reduced availability, some of this availability would only work on a mac from 2010 or so.
You can play windows games on mac with using a crossover (uses wine and some open source software)
Here is a demonstration

But I don't think you would buy a mac for games
