I think you do misunderstand: the people that do (occasionally, or
eventually) provide OSX binaries have hardware available to them all the
time. They only have part-time to work on Python, though.

Of course, if somebody would promise a more timely provision of
binaries, and can't do that because of lack of hardware, we would have
to look for a solution.
