What you have is fine for "macOS 11.2 and above" but the "*" means "OR
any version of any platform not macOS". If you have
"__builtin_available(macOS 11.2, iOS 14.4, *)" would mean macOS 11.2
and above OR iOS 14.4 and above (which is the release aligned with
macOS 11.2, not iOS 14.2 as I originally mistyped) OR any version of
any platform not macOS. However, I think it's fine here as making this
change doesn't break anything on older versions of iOS (or macOS as
well). Btw, there's also tvOS and watchOS which I'm not sure if this
bug applies (I assume yes) but QEMU doesn't run on those platforms
(yet).
