In OPs defence: if they work in one of the main tech hubs then pretty much all they will likely see people using is MacBooks. I guess a better way to have phrased the question is “do development on a laptop with a cloud based operating system rather than a traditional OS”

Last time I attended a developer meetup here in Berlin I saw more ThinkPads than Macbooks...

Yeah, I think in Germany it's more like 50/50 for small companies with a big trend to 90% Apple with freelancers and 90% Thinkpad/Dell for bigger companies.

And you should look at market share numbers and maybe visit every other place in the world sometime.
