Could you build this?
Partial Creating a companion desktop app is straightforward, but reading low-level Linux evdev touch/stylus events over SSH or USB from reMarkable and translating them into macOS virtual digitizer/tablet events via DriverKit or CGEvent requires non-trivial low-level systems programming.
What it would actually take: A functioning system requires a client daemon running on the reMarkable (or reading /dev/input/event* via SSH) streaming raw digitizer packets (X, Y, tilt, pressure) over TCP/USB. On macOS, it needs a virtual HID tablet driver or DriverKit/IOKit synthetic event generator that simulates Wacom/stylus input with accurate coordinate mapping and sub-15ms latency. Developing this requires embedded Linux input subsystem knowledge and macOS DriverKit/CoreGraphics event injection expertise.
