Only because porting the proxy-helper to macOS is outside the scope of this particular patch. While some initial concepts around it have been considered by some of the contributors to this patch, those implementations weren't tested enough and the security implications weren't considered in full. We assume that this could be an additional implementation later on, if the functionality is considered important down the road.
