Why not simply use NSToolbar?
As I was trying to allude to earlier, if they didn't know about the
HIG's recommendations for metal, they probably didn't know about
NSToolbar. I wouldn't be surprised if they have had no contact with
other engineers, and had just been told to get on with it.
One of the goals of Safari is "innovation," and that means breaking new
ground. Safari engineers are not really locked up in the dungeons;
they do know about NSToolbar. Safari does not use NSToolbar because it
needed to do things outside the scope of NSToolbar functionality and
APIs. Based on experience with how things work in Safari, it's possible
for some of the changes to migrate to NSToolbar at some point.
Similarly it's also possible for the human interface guidelines to be
updated based on experiences with use of metal in apps...
