My (subjective and probably limited) experience as a sysadmin and security and platform engineer for the past 7-ish years has shown me that a large portion of users in highly technical roles (not usually the majority in a company) are issued Macbooks.
Especially in the cloud role that I currently occupy, it seems like MacOS hits that nice balance for most corporations of providing a powerful Unix userspace while being somewhat easy to use and very secure (especially compared to the default posture of most Linux desktop machines).
That being said, I can understand being annoyed with aspects of MacOS. I have a work issued Intel Mac and Dell XPS that I have running Arch and I much prefer my Linux machine. But I think that if MacOS wasn't an option most places wouldn't even have a Unix/Unix-like option for their employees' workstations.
