I do not think that README, which is end-user facing, is a good place for that. If anything, I am inclined to say that developer facing documents like SubmittingPatches and CodingGuidelines may be a better place to say that things are expected to work on X, Y and Z platforms, but I would think it is perfectly OK to start with a new feature that works only on, say, macOS, and leave it unimplemented for other platforms until somebody who is motivated enough to help fills the gap. So in that sense, "things are expected to work on these platforms" may be already stronger than what we want to say.
