Time is money. Learning/setting up/operating around Linux is expensive.

>Learning

In practical terms, any software engineer knows how to work in a POSIX environment, so no issue here.

>setting up

If you mean "installing Linux", then any mainstream distro (e.g. Linux Mint) is ready to go out of the box. If you mean "configuring things up to your liking" then it is no more time-consuming than any other setup.

>operating

Don't know what you mean by this, but a POSIX environment is probably the most efficient/least painful way to do software development.
