Why macOS 10.9 or later? MacOS 10.10 introduced a number of useful APIs, in particular openat(2) and the like which are exposed using the “dir_fd” parameter of functions in the posix module. That said, macOS 10.9 seems to be a fairly common minimal platform requirement these days for developers not tracking Apple’s releases closely.
