@dcubed-ojdk There is no RFE to renaming "macosx" to "macos". I'm not sure it should be done. We can't follow all marketing trends (Apple recently renamed iOS to iPadOS for the iPad; we can't keep adapting to such schemes). Personally, I like the new name without the "x", but we had already spent some time trying to find and fix all (or at least, most) instances of "osx" in the code, that I don't really think it's worth the effort.
If you can drill up enough enthusiasm for such a project, and get any objections down to minimum, I can help implementing it. But I won't be spearheading it.

We're not really in the habit of adding comments for various command line options. Normally, you can check these with "man" if you are uncertain. If they do something surprising, sure, but here it's more of a "it's needed on aarch64 to work at all", so I don't think a comment will be anything but added clutter.
