Summary
GitHub have deprecated the macOS 10.15 runner.

I am not sure of the value we're getting here. I originally wanted to execute our tests on each version of a Runner just to be certain about what we support, but it is clear, given GitHubs eager deprecation of macOS 15.10 that it is largely pointless and just wasteful of general resources and our time (on small PRs).

Performance of macOS Runner is still very poor:
Our
macos
jobs consistently take 100%-300% more time to complete thanubuntu
Other Information
GitHub should provide an option for Runners which executes on all current supported runners so as they deprecate our pipelines change,

&macos-all
🤔 Immutability of that is probably bad.
