JDK internally uses the `NSProcessInfo` and `NSOperatingSystemVersion` APIs to identify the macOS version and set the `os.version` system property to that value. The current recommended version to build the JDK on macOS is XCode 15.4. The `NSOperatingSystemVersion` API on that version of XCode reports macOS version as 16 instead of 26.
