Mac sales account for only around 8% of Apple’s revenue.

It's not just Macs though. It's the iPhone, Apple Watch, EarPods, Magic Trackpad, Home Pods, and purchased Mac apps and other digital goods that make switching to a Linux laptop especially painful.

That’s only if you use a Mac as your main driver, which is a minority. Apple makes most of their revenue from people who don’t own a Mac.
