Eek, dropping 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 was not on our Blender 2.7x roadmap. This would prevent 2.79 from running on lots of Macs that could handle it (GL 2.1 capable GPUs). Those same Macs are stuck with older GPUs so deciding to drop them for Blender 2.8 was easier. Most people are running latest OS & Xcode and it is annoying to not be able to type "make full" and run. By default I agree this should work. No hoops! Can we keep the ability to build for 10.6 thru 10.8 using an *older* Xcode/SDK? I keep a drive with 10.9 & older Xcode, but am not a build system guru. For our next release we could have [Mac OS 10.6, 10.7, 10.8] and [Mac OS 10.9 & newer] downloads. That gives us a rough count how many people actually use the older system.
