Ehhhhh, as long as there's money to be had in iOS land, I'm not sure that's true.

Contrary to internet commenters complaining that it's impossible to launch new iOS apps, iOS shops still make a ton of money. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most developers use Macs to write Java, Ruby, PHP etc.; these are the developers who would leave first, and that would already cause a lot of damage to the ecosystem.

Developers don't need to be on a Mac. They can run OSX inside a VM on any OS they want.
