We already had thin clients approaches 15 years ago and most setups I have seen were quite a failure. Never going to use a Mac, since I think it degrades developers freedom (and that of users too, but that is subjective). I am surprised that Microsoft actually tries to emulate Apple instead of serving an alternative. Windows is still a mess in my opinion. I do deploy stuff to the cloud because I don't like administrative tasks and don't need to pay the invoices. But yes, an uniform environment has advantages for administration, no doubt about it. But the price is too high to switch to Apple land. If they had a critical mass, you can be sure you loose a lot of freedom to execute stuff to your liking. You cannot even reset do a factory reset of a damn iPad without cloud access. I think it is insane that some developers disregard these "features". That is missed in this cost analysis of course.
