Hey there, wellskt!

Thanks for asking about Wi-Fi Direct and macOS Big Sur on a MacBook Pro. We're happy to provide you with some information!

While Mac does not support Wi-Fi Direct specifically, it does offer options to share content between devices, such as File Sharing, AirDrop, and AirPrint:

Print wirelessly from your Mac to an AirPrint printer - Apple Support

Share your Mac screen, files, and services with other users on your network - Apple Support

Use AirDrop on your Mac - Apple Support
