As trivial as it would be, time has shown again and again that Apple has no excuse for not fixing this - they just don’t care. For Apple, the effort to fix this would amount to a minor edit to the Apple graphics driver kext, bundled in a minor macOS update some users wouldn’t even notice. If the display is connected to a Mac laptop computer with a closed lid, make sure that the Mac is connected to power and using an external keyboard and mouse. The most incredible part is, they seem to have nothing to gain from this intentional lack of support. We are about to colonise Mars and macOS still doesn’t support DisplayPort daisy-chaining.
