I'm using Kodi 19.4 on macOS 12.5.1 and can't control Kodi playback using built-in Apple Keyboard media keys. Found old topics from 2012 regarding this with users don't want for the media keys to control XBMC... Is there a way around? Does Kodi support media keys playback control on macOS? If not, maybe, add a setting for something like enabling/disabling media keys in Kodi...

you need to enable Accessibility for Kodi in system settings:

It is enabled, but when I press a media key, the Apple's Music app still opens.

can't reproduce on 12.6 with the latest v19 nightly.

have you restarted Kodi after enabling Accessibility? it might be necessary.
