>The author appears to have conflated "Linux" with the "kernel"
I don't think he conflated it (in his mind). In the post he's quite clear which is which.
He probably just reused an ARM Linux example code (probably from his book), made some changes required for macOS ARM, but forgot to change the name of the kernel.
