The comment is obsolete now, since the code that references 10.14 is now gone.
it could be a puzzler to anyone reading it later as to how it could be supported on 10.14 when the JDK isn't.
It probably should just be
"Metal uses the same minimum version as the rest of the JDK"

keeping the first sentence though. so in total
MACOSX_METAL_VERSION_MIN specifies the lowest version of macOS
 that should be used to compile Metal shaders.
 Metal uses the same minimum version as the rest of the JDK
