There are many other countries in the world.
I personally have noticed that in the UK the Mac is more of a "fashion computer" to be seen with in the oh-so-trendy coffee shop. Like a handbag.
I'd also question who those people sitting in the coffee shop on a weekday are? Are they a representative sample of professional coders, or are the professional coders actually at work - you know, at the office - rather than hanging out at the coffee shop?
I use a Linux and Mac professionally for coding, and a Windows machine personally for coding. Particularly with Linux running natively on windows now, there isn't really any difference these days apart from the OS's UX IME. Mac laptops are physically nice machines I agree (there is that fashion again!) but I personally find OSX to be a nightmare to use for real work as it seems designed to make multitasking difficult (hiding multiple windows under one icon in the dock, every app sharing the menu bar, beach-balling, touchbar and F- keys, no escape key, no native window layout/arranging/snapping etc etc). It's great if you are just doing one thing at a time, but start to need to have multiple windows/apps at once and I find it frustrating as hell to deal with, while Win10 and photon or cinnamon on Linux are just fine.
