Thanks for this context. These changes all pertain to example templates and looks good.
VMware vSphere 7.0.x was the final release supporting Apple Mac Platforms on x86.
The link https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/886980 is throwing a 404.
Does this just mean that users running a later version of vSphere can not build macOs vms?
Will this affect the Packer plugin on macOs host in the future in any way? This plugin leverages the API for interactions but curious if govmomi will be affected in the future.

Correct, macOS on vSphere 8.0 and later will not be supported. No impact to the binary to run the plugin on macOS. |

Updated the link to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/88698. Correct link also included in the commit. |
