The Mac’s “resurgence” started around 1999 with the introduction of the iMac - 9 years before the App Store opened. Apple currently sells around 16-20 million Macs a year.

No matter how good WSL is, if you want to develop iOS apps, you still have to buy a Mac.

There are around 200 million consumer PCs sold a year. Do you really think any significant number or sold to develop VR apps - that market is minis use.

They resurged because windows laptops was straight trash and wireless worked like shit. Apple only needed to do a few things better back then.
