Perhaps the crowd is older and doesn't care about their image anymore?
Perhaps battery life or some other hardware consideration made them choose other hardware above a MacBook?
Perhaps it is less accepted by your Linux peers to run another OS?
Perhaps Linux became better in supporting the daily work of a developer?
Perhaps there is a decoupling between the OS someone uses to develop versus the OS used by their end-users due to the rise of the cloud?

I have yet to see a laptop running either any variant of Linux/BSD or Win7 (I don't count W8/W10, that's not Windows, that's crap) achieving the same battery endurance as a Macbook. Apple really can do something unique as they can completely modify the OS X kernel to squeeze every last bit of power-saving performance out of the CPU.
- MrQuincle 10y agoI currently have the Lenovo Yoga 900. It is not better than a Macbook, but with around 9 hours, there is no reason anymore to go for a Macbook. So better battery life of competing deviced might be a factor, it was for me.
