I'm not sure your statistics support your conclusion. 21.7% equates to a huge number of developers, just not a majority.

The fact that there are about as many developers who are Linux users as there are Mac users is quite telling.

Lately my impression is that Mac is still gaining ground with developers. At least where I work, virtually every new developer asks for a Mac. I find it a bit strange because then they have to faff around with homebrew to get a decent GNU build, which is what we need for development. Pretty (Mac) still seems to be favoured over flexible (GNU/Linux). Maybe one day...
