I have users that have issues with Safari, CSS and Javascripts ones.
I MUST own an Apple device to debug anything.

Also you can use browserstack.
More like $200-300 for a used M1 mini or Air…
Or free to just run macOS in a VM if you don’t care about breaking an EULA you never signed in the first place…
