I discovered an issue where older Intel Macs (like my 2017 MacBook) enrolled in the macOS Sequoia Public Beta do not receive Ventura security updates, even though Sequoia is not compatible with the hardware.
My system said “macOS is up to date” while stuck on Ventura 13.7.1, but after switching to the Ventura Public Beta channel, it immediately showed a new update available.
This seems like a serious flaw—Apple should warn users or fall back to compatible OS versions when an enrolled beta is unsupported.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could be a widespread issue for Intel Mac users still relying on Ventura.
