Not when they're the ones claiming they don't want to interoperate with stuff that does have Bluetooth certification (e.g. Apple hardware).

They have said they don't want to interoperate. They said they won't certify against whatever random hardware and software a person has in their PC.

Typo: "They haven't said they...". I noticed too late to edit!

Who exactly certifies MacOS (or any OS) for Bluetooth compliance?

It's usually not about the OS but the BT controller (hardware) itself.

No, both the OS and the hardware are certified by the Bluetooth SIG. An example: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/pipe...
