No, the answer is that they don't have a lot of people that use Linux. You can't honestly tell me that Macs work better than Linux for most of the tasks a programmer or devops needs to do on a daily basis. I know it's true that they don't work as well as Linux machines because I have had to support both platforms over my twenty years in this industry. Here's a neat trick (and just one example): Set up LDAP authentication on a server and then try to get your MacBook's to work. Good luck!
