.NET 9 can not be installed on older macOS #109750

I have a iMac 27" that can only support macOS 10.15.7. It supported .NET 8 perfectly fine.

However today, while trying to install the .NET 9 SDK I receive an error stating that I need macOS 12 or later. I would ask you to reconsider this decision.

@richlander for visibility. Here's our release notes support page for reference: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/9.0/supported-os.md#apple

macOS 10.15 was unsupported by Apple since the end of November 2022. The official support policy for .NET is to follow the one of the OS vendor. This is unlikely to change.

The min supported OS version for Apple platforms are bumped in a consistent pace. .NET 7-8 requires 10.15 and .NBT 5-6 requires 10.13, bumping 2 versions for every 2 years.
