I would add exact macOS versions, according to [1] it is: 15000000

__apple_build_version__ defines a macOS version. But macOS 15 includes 
XCode 16, see [2], not 15.x

So there is an inconsistency in condition and comment. I would list 
macOS versions in a comment like this

"Workaround for macOS 15, 15.1 and 15.2" to avoid misinterpretation due 
to non-strict inequality with 15000300.

Also, I would include a link to [2] to the commit message.
