Folding@home would love to take a swing at a sliver of that compute

It's peculiar to me that Folding@home never managed to get GPUs working for MacOS, given the platform's popularity: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=32895

As a consequence, it seems not worth installing on MacOS: https://stats.foldingathome.org/os

It's not worth implementing for MacOS because it woulnd't increase the overall folding rate very much given the relative weakness of the Mac GPUs compared to the existing f@h fleet.
