UIKit classes (UIView, UIHostingController) can be replaced by AppKit classes (NSView, NSHostingController), code works there as well.

Instantly pre-computing the intrinsicContentSize seems to perform better on dynamic changes of the height. Whereas observing the view's layouted size (as Tunous' SwiftUIView.swift) or using above approach with a layout constraint show small delays in updating themselves.
