This has nothing to do with Mac versus Windows. 'Open as layers in Photoshop' is only available in Lightroom Classic.

It is not a feature of Lightroom (Cloud based version).

I have seen one suggested method to-

1) Select ONE photo and [Edit in] Photoshop.

2) Back in Lightroom Export the other remaining photos (for the layers) to a local folder.

3) Back in Photoshop- Add the exported images into the photo opened in Step#1 using the [Place..] command.

This method has the advantage that, when you [SAVE] the Ps document it automatically is added back to the Lightroom catalog.
