I think the OS can do it on Mac (over a decade ago that I've used Macs, but back then it was called "aggregate device" and you set up such meta device which is composed of multiple soundcards. It exposes then the sum of the inputs/outputs to the system).

I have no idea about the rationale not to include that function in Pd on Mac, but I assume it's better if the OS is doing it. From what I understood Apple is doing resampling anyway to compensate for clock drifts, just like pipewire does on Linux.
