> with Apple not really doing much to help.

I think Apple is starting to push hard to get into the gaming market. You already mentioned Game Porting Toolkit as an example, but they have been regularly giving the floor to AAA game studios during Apple's big keynote presentations. Notably, Capcom is bringing RE4 Remake to Apple devices, following Resident Evil Village. Death Stranding is also getting a macOS port soon.

If I had to guess, I think Apple is actually going out of their way to financially incentivize these companies to port their games to Mac, even if sales are low (e.g. paying them to port the game). Throwing money at it may be a good way for them to get out of the chicken and egg problem.
