Mac OS X Sierra did adopt some of the design cues of iOS 7 back in 2013, but only as a course correction from the skeuomorphic aspects of iOS that Mac OS X Lion had brought over in 2011. To be clear, unlike iOS it’s not the first time Apple has ever given macOS a fresh coat of paint, but it’s definitely been a while.
