That describes my office.

Primary display is a 27” or 32” 4k monitor w/ standing desks.

Most hate the butterfly keyboard. Lots of mechanical USBs.

Some like the touchbar. Not our blind developer.

I think of them as Mac Minis, before the recent line upgrade.

Exactly. I’m pretty sure the most common Mac OS user is still in media or marketing. People who demand the fanciest, largest displays and printers. They’re not going to tie themselves down to a laptop display unless that’s just how things are done there.

I see hardly ever see any developer using anything other than macOS (it's not called 'Mac OS'). I don't think the majority are in some niche like marketing or media.

Not everyone can afford a Mac: I suspect the people you see are skewed towards the relatively well-off.

They normally get them provided by their employer.

It also is not comfortable, nor ergonomic (using the laptop without external peripherals).
