The overwhelming majority of developers I interact with these days are on MacOS, and it's not even close. Probably a 80-20 MacOS to Windows ratio. I'm not in Silicon Valley, and I work with people from lots of different companies. Every company that offers the option for devs to have a Macbook, that seems to be what the "average" dev is choosing for a while now. This is obviously an anecdotal sample size but I'm looking at a group of about 30 companies over the past year ranging in size from < 15 employees to up to 500, and everything in between.
M1 has made a lot of people eager to jump too.
