Sure, but that generally only applies to that OS or later, as we cannot generally change the behavior of older OSes (there are specific recent exceptions to that, but they are typically fairly low level and targeted). I don’t think the speaker here was trying to imply that this feature was available prior to 10.11.

Thats pretty much what I was trying to verify, and so this sounds like this is a bug somewhere. I would highly recommend filing it.
