I'm not sure how this addresses my concern. Uh, rant. Lament.
If this is an OS problem, then a Hackintosh system would not solve it.
If this is a driver problem, then perhaps Clover will work, but maybe not.
(When I build a machine, I would use Windows or Linux, so—for me—Hackintosh is
not a solution.)
I like working with USB gadgets on the Mac, but if "Works with Catalina" has to
become a de facto standard for USB, then Apple is going to lose a market. A
virtual Windows machine is of no help here.
Oh, and I said AdaFruit has a fix for Feather boards. It doesn't work for me.
This also means my advice to use virtual machines for Windows is flawed.
Maybe this is Apple's way of saying I should get a new Mac, but I hear even
some new Macs have the problem.
