I suppose that depends on where you live or work. Around here there are perhaps 10% of users of any brand who act like that (except in the BlackBerry era where it was part brand, part BBM). The rest just uses what makes sense for their use case.

I currently do part time consulting in company that has floor full of developers. All Apple. Not a single piece of software they develop actually targets Mac. They do full stack wit cloud and browser targets.

Most of the companies I visited the last few months have a choice of systems plus a BYOD budget, but still most people prefer getting a Mac, and again, almost none of them are writing software for macOS or iOS, and are as in your example often working for web, cloud or managing *nix servers.
