I'm not a Mac user (anymore) but I often ask myself this, as well. MacOS is buggy as hell, the UI sucks, and a stock Ubuntu or Fedora installation is much, much, much more usable, particularly for development tasks. From what I've been able to gather, there are two reasons: 1. Vidya (this is somewhat valid) 2. Status signaling (but you'll never get them to admit it) That's it, full stop. You either need to play Fortnite, or your status needs to be affirmed by others. There's a small minority who pretend that LibreOffice can't open MS Office docs, but considering 99% of corporate Mac users use G Suite in the browser for docs anyway, this is a ludicrous complaint. Just accept that they care about their public image, or like to play vidya, and move on.
