Sounds like he chose to work as a mobile developer, not an iOS developer. A Mac let's you write for iOS and Android. Windows doesn't.

  To be fair, it's Apple that doesn't let you develop for iOS on Windows, not Microsoft.

    Yes but Microsoft doesn't let you build on macOS either. With mac, you still have an option of installing windows. I am not saying one is better than the other, but as a developer, I feel macOS gives me best bang for the buck.

      It's Apple that doesn't let you install macOS on a VM or other hardware. Microsoft has no control over that.

        Microsoft does have control over building a version of Visual Studio that runs on macOS if they really don't discriminate based on the platform. They want their phone apps built on windows and I think it is fair, but they aren't that much different from Apple.
