Could you build this?

No Offering on-demand macOS sandboxes requires owning or leasing Apple hardware at scale and operating virtualization within Apple's licensing terms, which is infrastructure a vibe-coded product cannot provide.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a fleet of Apple silicon Mac hardware, likely in racks or data centres, with per-second billing, VM or sandbox orchestration, image management and networking. It also needs expertise in macOS virtualization and Apple's EULA, plus capital and ops staff to run the fleet reliably.
