Mac can also suck with enough corporate spyware, e.g. JAMF.
I would not hold your breath for fixing the AAC limitation

Nothing is ever perfect for everybody.
I’d used Airplay 1 via Airport Express optical(lossless) for a very long time. Now use Airplay 2(lossless) to wanderful RoPieeeXL.
What are you looking for or what is missing for you?
Airplay 2 terminology can be a little ambiguous …
as I understand it, if you’re streaming from an Airplay 2 enabled app to an Airplay 2 receiver, you get no better than AAC 256
(I think Apple Music with handoff/transfer to a HomePod is a special case that does support lossless) …
if you stream from an Airplay (aka Airplay 1) enabled app to an Airplay 2 receiver, you can get CD quality lossless, but it will be an Airplay 1 real-time stream (with the 2 second delay etc.)
