Why do you say that Macintosh tools were impossible to come by legally? Maybe Mac development was limited to certain developers in the early days, but Apple released MPW in 1986. THINK Technologies introduced Lightspeed Pascal and Lightspeed C in 1986 too. Inside Macintosh was published in 1985.
(I had to research this, because I didn't own a Mac or program for Macs until about 1995.)

For me at least, therefor, it was far more easier to develop on an Atari and then a Linux PC than it ever was for Apple's machines (before OSX).
