Why macOS 13.4?
VMark draws its interface in the WebKit engine that comes with macOS, so the version of macOS decides which web features are available. macOS 13.4 is the oldest release whose built-in WebKit can run the current build.
This page previously said 10.15. That was never accurate — it was a default nobody had checked. On older systems VMark did not refuse to start; it opened a blank window and gave no reason. Below 13.4, macOS itself now declines to open it and says why.
