Buying a Mac for business is simply outsourcing IT support to a different vendor (Apple vs. local support options) and paying for some of the support upfront vs. on demand.
Getting good support from a vendor or hiring in house implicates a lot of overhead.
The choice to go with Apple is very understandable to me, based on my experience with how much time it takes to find and supervise IT support personnel/vendors. They are about as hard to manage as office cleaning staff, where when you look away for 5 minutes the carpet doesn't get vacuumed because it's hard to detect at first.
