Did you notice that they're code is "stuck" while LibreOffice is in its native
event queue? Their code is literally loading the LibreOffice code and running
in their application's main thread. So, LibreOffice starts the native event
loop. The event loop runs until LibreOffice terminates.

I get it that there is interest that you can run a complex GUI application as a
command line tool. And you can on Windows and Linux and iOS since they have a
separate "headless mode" vcl code that never creates any native windows so
there is no need to start a native event loop.

It's pretty basic here: TDF and partners funded headless mode for Windows and
Linux and iOS. No one funded a macOS headless mode. I don't have the time,
funds, or even interest to fund this on macOS.
