    I believe it's because of the differences in the architecture between mobile and non-mobile operating systems. App protection policies don't run on unmanaged Windows devices either. Devices managed via Intune (mobile, MacOS or Windows) can remove company data: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/devices-wipe

I don't believe it's possible when the MacOS device is not managed by Intune. App Protection Policies can only apply to mobile OS (iOS and Android).

Thanks
