Description

### Description

Are macOS 10.15 and 11.0 supported by .NET 8?

The answer is different across official Microsoft documentation:
- According to the [.NET Release Notes Supported OS Policy](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/supported-os.md#macos) (this repo), the answer is **yes**.
- According to the [.NET Fundamentals on Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/macos#supported-releases) (dotnet/docs), the answer is **no**.
- This was recently updated in [dotnet/docs#38275](https://github.com/dotnet/docs/issues/38275).

What is the correct answer, and who needs to update their documentation to be correct?
