for your Vega mac is a BSD fork but i think this also apply, you will need a supported driver backend for your graphicscard.

AMD GPUs on Linux require "RadeonOpenCompute (ROCm)" Software Platform (3.1 or later)

its like cuda for nvidia, apple i believe is using something called METAL?

Interesting. I did see on the Hashcat website that a driver would be required but I only found instructions for Linux and Windows, not macOS although macOS was distinctly mentioned elsewhere. So I wasn't sure. I also looked to follow the Linux instructions (since as you say, macOS runs Darwin), and I wasn't clear about how to get them installed on my platform.

It looks like in some cases people have made it work, but it's not always clear how: https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-8136-po...l#pid43823
