Anyone working on a large iOS or MacOS codebase needs a serious machine due to compile times. Apple/Xcode tooling isn’t really set up to let you run the compiler and IDE brains on another machine. Any companies with these mega-monolithic apps (Facebook, Uber, AirBnB) with 16 companies worth of functionality inside one app used to buy Mac Pros for those developers. Now I imagine they’ve mostly switched to Mac Studios.
