Xcode, developing iOS apps and similar. TBH it's the only reason I own a Mac of any kind, that and the hardware lasts well.

So you own your specific type of computer for the hardware and the software...

Is there any other reason to own a particular computer?

Fashion? Because you like using it? Because it fits in your budget?

So... yes.

Doesn't everyone buy a specific computer for the hardware and software? I don't know anyone who goes to a store and just picks a random computer, they either decide between Windows and MacOS, and then pick a computer based on the specs.
