    Just because they stopped selling it doesn’t mean it’s free. The only legal way to aquire MacOS is to buy an Apple product, or somehow get an upgrade from one of those old paid versions (which since this happens through the App Store now, you still need an Apple product).

    Windows is also not free even though you can download the iso. There’s license terms

      It’s free because it’s free, not because you can’t seem to wrap your head around that fact. Or whatever pretzel branded maneuvering you’re trying to do to validate your position

      macOS is free. There’s really no way you can twist that to be untrue. Not without making stuff up.
