Some folks do it because they are fixing bugs and contributing to the project, so they need to run a build with their changes for testing and development.

Thanks for the information and sorry about the inconvenience..
It was actually built for 10.12 and has LSMinimumSystemVersion set to 10.12.
But it is a universal build with support for M1, so perhaps something in that process made it implicitly require 10.15.
It’s not unusual that I can’t build for older versions of macOS, after updating Xcode/SDK, but most of the time, it manifests itself as crashes or linker errors (when running the build on older versions of macOS).
I will look into this later, and see if I can’t manage to get a build done that runs on 10.14 and earlier.
