… that’s not totally correct, because a macroscopic state, even in principle, cannot be a superposition of macroscopic eigenstates.

A macrosopic state is an actual physical state.

A macrosopic state, by definition, cannot be a superposition of different macroscopic states. A superposition must be of different macroscopically-indistinguishable microscopic states.

In other words, a physical state, by definition, cannot be a superposition of different physically-distinguishable physical states. A superposition must be of different physically-indistinguishable mathematical states.
