FYI, this is a very brittle check -- macOS sometimes decides to lie about the version for "compatibility". If this approach is accepted, you'll need to set SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=0 in this invocation (see e.g. https://eclecticlight.co/2020/08/13/macos-version-numbering-isnt-so-simple/) to ensure you're getting the actual version and not the compatibility version.
