A quick Google search indicates that that is ... stretching ... the truth a bit. At both those companies you are offered the choice of a Thinkpad (apparently Windows at FB or Linux at GOOG) or a Mac. And at that point what are they doing? You are using a web browser and SSH through a terminal. There's a word for that and it's called 'thin client'. It wouldn't surprise me if most of the in-office networks were full of standalone machines and borderline shadow IT. No need to simp so hard for Apple bro. The criticism levied by the OP is completely valid. Apple breaks stuff on the regular, without a care, in large-scale deployments with real desktop applications it can be a total shitshow.
