Mainly because I get paid to solve business problems with my devices as tools. I don't get paid to futz around with Linux, and my clients don't want to hear about why I can't use their document formats or get audio to work on a conference call.
Any time I spend futzing with my tools or solving incompatibilities amounts to unbillable hours.
I manage a bunch of Linux cloud servers. With no GUI or device driver issues Linux works great. I have used Unix since it came out (yes, that old) so it isn't as if I don't get the command line or can't figure things out. But to make a living I need a car that starts every morning, not a garage project.
I used Windows and Android for years but eventually abandoned those platforms because of malware and cross-vendor issues that I don't get with Apple. And my Apple hardware almost never breaks down -- I had a MacBook Air blow up once because of a bad power outlet in Thailand, but other than that it all just reliably works.
