A lot of hardware still has "drivers" (more just hardware specific software) for their devices though that only support Mac/windows.

The bigger point isn't that audio production isn't possible on Linux, it's that you have to make significant compromises to make it work. I count switching DAW as a significant compromise.

The cost difference between a Mac mini and Linux hardware of similar performance isn't worth those compromises to many creatives, outside of CG

That's why Ardour runs on more platforms that any other DAW, so you don't have to make that compromise :)
