Clarification needed, are you asking for a Windows version of Mist? Or are you asking for it to be able to create macOS installers that would run on Windows?!?

The latter is impossible, Apple would need to make those first. The former however would severly limit the functionality of Mist, as it would not be able to create the macOS installer app due to Windows lacking functionality only available within macOS, therefore would really only be useful in downloading the ipsw files.

i mean like they can download the .ISO then they can do in it

Oh, Windows version of Mist. Never used mist before? (it shows)

Apple do not provide an ISO, mist creates ISO's by creating an Apple dmg disk image file, mounting it, then follows Apple's createinstallmedia process to install the macOS installer onto the volume, unmounts it, mist then converts the dmg file into an ISO file. All again with built-in macOS tools, tools mist would have to re-create for Windows.

The base problem here is Windows doesn't recognise macOS formatted volumes (i.e. HFS+ or APFS), which mist needs, in order to be able to create the disk image.

Please recommend any open source Windows tools that can mount and manage macOS formatted volumes (HFS+ and APFS), as well as tools that can open .pkg files, then, and only then, would I expect ninxsoft to consider this feature request, until then I expect this might require some heavy duty coding.

The mist-cli (command line interface) tool shows what mist is doing to create those disk image files, which is what I am describing above. Here is mist-cli "downloading" an iso of macOS 26 Tahoe...
