The official launcher is also ran in Wine, which is slow, buggy and somehow manages to get stuck on your cursor. Everything else applies from above.

Their native Swift launcher has a similar feature set and provide their own bundled Wine with modern DXVK and other goodies. For those who wish to use XIV on Mac's bundled Wine, but still want to use Astra - that's possible too!
