No, there's a mac version of retroarch. OpenEmu is a bit better in term of user interface.
And RetroArch has a history of harassing emulator devs, e.g. Stenzek who made Duckstation, were harassed by them until Stenzek went hiatus. IIRC, they might have harassed Near (developer of Snes9x), Near eventually killed themself.
I try to minimize the use of RetroArch
Oh jeez, did some brief research and that is awful. The person in charge of Retroarch seems to be a greedy asshole, doesn't properly credit other people's code, and there's direct IRC-logged evidence of abusive behavior towards emulator devs. Yikes. No wonder there are competing projects.
Time for me to never touch it again. I hear LaunchBox is a fine alternative but on my Switch I might just grab ARM builds of individual emulators; it would save time over the whole RA interface anyways.
So this is like RetroArch for MacOS. Cool!
