I would never try to build a business on either app store but even if you target the web you can't afford to ignore Apple, at least not in the U.S. On my last project Apple/iOS users made up half of our revenue.

Unfortunately this means it's hard to be a web developer these days without owning Apple hardware.

if you're big enough where this really is an issue, then you can just afford a stand alone Mac who's job is to compile and test your app.

A lot of us are working remote these days. That means everybody needs a Mac.

Exactly! Reason why websites such as https://virtualmacosx.com are a thing.
