How can I create a macOS bootable usb on Windows 10?
I have encountered the same problem as you before, and I found many ways to solve it. In the end, I used UltraDMG. It can create a macOS bootable USB directly on Windows, and you don't need to do any complicated command line operations.
This tutorial helped me a lot:

Just prepare your macOS DMG file, insert the USB, open UltraDMG, select your DMG file and USB, and click a button. The interface is simple and the steps are very simple. I think it should be helpful to you.

WilliamsMoore This is correct. It could be much easier to create a macOS bootable USB on a Mac with the createinstallmedia command. The createinstallmedia command is a Terminal utility provided by Apple for making a bootable USB installer for macOS. This is especially useful when you need to install macOS on multiple machines, perform a clean installation, or recover a system that isn't functioning properly.
First, set up a macOS virtual machine on Windows PC. Then download the macOS installer from the App Store. The installer will be saved in your Applications folder with a name like Install macOS Sonoma.app, Install macOS Ventura.app, etc., depending on the version.
After that, connect a USB drive and follow the command to create a Mac bootable USB drive on Windows PC for free (taking High Sierra as example):
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume
