Aren't the only people buying Macs those who have no choice because of the monopoly they have for iOS development? I mean really - crappy hardware (form over function), expensive, dated UI.
No; pretty much everybody I know in tech uses one and almost nobody I know in tech develops for iOS.
They're standard issue at most companies in the valley, at least, with "open" x86 laptops being a distant second (maybe 10% of the population) split between Windows and Linux.
People typically see MacOs as "Unix-family OS that doesn't suck". The day Linux delivers a decent desktop environment will be the day people ditch Apple. Unfortunately, that day is somewhere between "20 years from now" and "never"
