Mac is a very limited ecosystem and, aside from other things, absolutely not made for gaming. At this point it doesn't make sense to port the game to mac, especially since many of the peripherals aren't compatible either.
If the publisher thinks it will repay itself then it would've been done already. So it's pointless to discuss it here.

I was wondering about this (bolded part), are there any decent joysticks for mac? Track-IR? Throttles? Pedals?
Why not simply install Windows and run it in Windows?
Also to the OP: even if macs were 10% of the global pc market (which I highly doubt, no hate involved, I just doubt it is that high), let's not forget that flight sim enthusiasts represent a very small fraction of the overall "gaming market", which is also a fraction of the total pc market. So a small % of a slightly bigger % of one tenth of of the global market is just too small. Not worth it.
