It depends on the industry... go to any (non-ms based) tech company and every developer will want a mac. Nobody will chose windows if asked.

Other less developer related companies are moving more towards mac as well.

This is just my anecdote between being in/out of tech for the last 25 years and have gone from: "Here is your windows laptop" to "Do you want windows or macos" to "here is your macbook"

Now, if they would just give us the Max.

I've got the same experience, just saying that if I was offered 'here's a mac, we can put windows on it' I'd actually pick that option, because I love the hardware, but I'm very not impressed with macos.
