No, cross-compiling worked even before AI.

Even if code signing stops working you can still cross-compile code for macOS which eliminates the need for a CI fleet of Apple hardware

The fact that the project started in 2014 and it took Apple 8 years to support code signing outside of macOS tells you everything you need to know about how much they care.

cross compiling? yes.

code signing before 2022? nope.

There's little point is cross compilation if you still need a mac to code sign. And that was only possible in 2022 onwards.
