I can only speak of my experience at Google, but the Macs used by engineers here are glorified terminals, since the cloud based software is built using tools running on Google's internal Linux workstations and compute clusters. Downloading code directly to a laptop is a security violation (With an exception for those working on iOS, Mac, or Windows software)

If we need Linux on a laptop, there is either the laptop version of the internal Linux distro or Chromebooks with Crostini.
