This is not only not true for many years anymore, it's even got so far that it's almost the opposite now. Most successful businesses nowadays are increasingly led by tech-savvy leaders, because otherwise they wouldn't be successful anymore, and those people make their own software now increasingly better on macOS than Windows for their own selfish reasons because they all run on MacBooks, iPhones and Apple Watches today.
Even Microsoft's own software ironically works MUCH better on macOS than Windows. Try Office on macOS and you'll be surprised how good it is compared to Windows :)
- avalys 5y agoYou seem to have ignored the entire class of businesses that don’t “make their own software” at all.
- dustinmoris 5y agoUh yes? If you don’t make software then obviously you won’t make software for macOS either lol? Those folks also us macOS, but that was not the poiI tried to make.

Try Office on macOS and you'll be surprised how good it is compared to Windows That has not been my experience (though I wish it were). Excel on MacOS still feels clunky and has significant performance problems with big files - including crashes.
- ehutch79 5y agoIn my experience excel has gotten significantly better in the last 2-3 years. Though yes, that accounting sheet that has 2 million blank rows, and some macro trying to access a file in c:\windows\system32 is likely still causing problems... (not kidding)
- ehutch79 5y agoI doubt many companies are writing their internal apps to be macOS specific. Likely it's browser based.
