Ehm no, the Linux and FreeBSD binaries come from local VMs (and for
completeness: I compiled the mingw packages on my Arch Linux). I'm
using GitHub Actions only because I currently don't have any other
means to compile for macOS, I certainly don't want to use GitHub for
producing "official" binaries, and we're no way near that right now.

(Marnen registered his machine on MacStadium in the name of the
LilyPond project, and while I did get an account on that system some
weeks ago it's running OS X 10.10 (wasn't even called macOS back then)
which is so old that it cannot open a HTTPS connection to GitHub or
many other sites to download dependencies...)
