Description
Seems like io.spiffe.workloadapi.internal.GrpcManagedChannelFactory only supports Linux OS for unix schemes. Naive question perhaps, why is it not supporting unix sockets on Mac?

Research direction
Start by inspecting io.spiffe.workloadapi.internal.GrpcManagedChannelFactory and trace how DefaultWorkloadApiClient selects its channel for unix schemes. Reproduce the behavior on macOS, then identify the platform-specific limitation and verify that the client can connect through a Unix socket on macOS without regressing Linux support.
