TestFlight has been available in a beta capacity for several months now, with developers able to use the app to test their own apps and apps from other developers. With the official launch of the feature, developers can also send the TestFlight betas to members of the general public. To test apps, testers will need to download the TestFlight app from the Mac App Store. [Direct Link]

What's the point of this on MacOS? I can understand that you need it to run betas on iOS.
Easier to update.
Easier to send out.
Easier to expire betas.

Overall. Just plain easier.

You know, MR could have provided some context.

Apple Mac App Store launched in 2011.

Apple acquired TestFlight in 2014.

Finally available on the Mac late 2021.
