Just bought the G502 and am already returning it due to the macOS scrolling not being as smooth as the MX Master - missed opportunity, Logitech!
I LOVE the smooth scrolling the Logitech MX Master has on macOS - if you've never tried it, the free-spinning wheel scrolls very finely and responsive, from 1px increments to inertial scrolling when you flick the wheel. I don't know how they pulled it off in software, but it's miles ahead of how the free-spinning scroll wheel in the G502 works.
Yes, it spins freely, but it just reports the same "scroll down" mouse command to the computer instead of the more finely grained scrolling on the MX Master.
It's really too bad this isn't supported on this mouse. The MX Master has horrible DPI, polling rate and latency compared to a gaming mouse - I really hoped I had found something that was the best of both worlds, but oh well...
If anyone from Logitech support is reading along, please consider adding support for smooth scrolling on this mouse. It would benefit a lot of users.

Truly regret to hear that. If you are referring to the free spin, I believe the G502 has that. Have you tried pressing the scroll wheel itself see if that works?
