IIRC Apple is the same way. It requires extremely special dispensation to even get a Windows VM (ex: iTunes & Safari on Windows groups). It's not uncommon at all, to be honest. I've done IT at startups where we said "Mac Only". Why? Because supporting multiple platforms is a lot of work. You need to do everything twice. All the software security done twice (and differently for each). Rolling out something new to the employee base? Two different sets of instructions. Setting up conference rooms with power bricks and video adapters? Had to be done twice (though this was a while ago, that is less of an issue now). For small teams, it's just a workload that may not be doable. It's not like someone in IT says "I hate Windows, we're going to go Apple only", but often times a "Well, we're 90% Mac already, lets stick to just that". And yes, even with the "Apple Tax" its still overall cheaper to buy/support just macs.
