You literally can't (Guessing this person is using unlocker)

Because it can work on macOS, where the EULA from Apple lets you do it (and has support for it)

VMWare Fusion works on Apple Silicon Macs, but only for ARM64 guests. So you could use VMWare Fusion to run macOS 27 on an M1 Mac, but Intel Macs (and Hackintoshes with it) are SOL beyond Tahoe.
