Err, you guys know that about 80% of desktops are Windows right? There's a bit of a myth that developers are all using macOS but in practice that's not really the case.


I can't see how 80% of desktops being Windows is proof that most developers use macOS is a myth. Developers probably represent much less than 20% of all desktops, so it's a moot point.


Maybe they like developing for Mac and that’s their niche, at least to begin with? You have to start somewhere.
