I think freeze_support becomes relevant always when the start method is spawn since `sys.executable` will point to the frozen app bundle instead of the Python interpreter. Spawn was historically only used on Windows (therefore the note in the docs) but now also is the default for macOS. The start method can of course also be set manually and it might therefore make more sense to specify the start method instead of the platform in the docs.
