We have the freedom to choose between Windows/Linux/Mac
Most frontend devs went with MacOS.
All backend devs went with Linux.
MacOS is the one that causes problems with containerization and virtualization. Addition: frontend devs use Safari. This comes with its own problems due to browser inconsistencies between platforms.
TL;DR: we have a subset of devs who went with MacOS and there was no tangible gain.
I'm not tribalist, I merely like things that work. Personally, I think Windows is the best looking UI but I use Linux for work - I'm devoid of personal preferences when it comes to getting things done.
In my opinion, and this is by no means a fact - it's a mere opinion, Mac is a status symbol rather than productivity indicator.
