As a MacOS user, I also agree with dropping support for older versions as long as it's clearly documented.
It would be nice to keep at least MacOS 10.12 supported for a while though, since this is the last version that supports the HFS+ file system AFAIK. I know some people sticking to MacoS 10.12 for this reason, though to be fair I don't know any people that use KiCAD on MacOS and stick to HFS+ 🤷♂️.
