That question never stopped developers from getting Apple hardware and OSX at their workplaces and it seems they've been productive, even though hardly anyone except mobile developers deploy anything on OSX. Besides, what's the point of having a production environment based on apt if it can be derived from the same graph of all dependencies that you use for building and running your software locally by Nix? [1] There isn't need for apt-based images if you've been utilizing Nix already.

Maybe JVM , node etc for purely UI programming may work on Mac because they have support for it, but why depend on the tool writer (JVM, Node) to work on mac when we are developing an OS specially for development?
