Raw File Support for OM Systems OM-1

What are the issues preventing iMacs and MacBook Pros and iPads from recognizing the .orf files in the new OM Systems OM-1? I just get a placeholder with the file number when I transfer files. Adobe and other photo processing softwares already support the new camera. Is there a timeline for an update?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4

The issues are simple: Apple haven't written a decoder for these Raw, or if they have, have not released it yet. This may be because they are waiting for information from OM, or it could be that this is not a priority for Apple these days. No one outside of Apple knows what plans they have to release a raw definition, or even if they plan to. In my personal opinion, if you're spending approx a pro level $2k on a camera, you're best off similar quality software.
