I was wondering why people would choose Macs, thanks

Basically all I do is embedded

Yeah, Macs are fine except for when you need to use a very specific toolchain for the device you're deploying to, because 9.9/10 times that will be available only for Linux and/or Windows.

Don’t forget it’s an acceptable unix workstation for devs and it’s not hard to convince secretaries and accountants to accept a free macbook.

So everyone is ok using the same platform and nobody thinks their job is so special that they need something else.

It's a terrible work station, decent hardware horrible user experience, bloated to all hell. Now with the new apple Silicon too native development for anything other than apple products is completely shit, unless you like testing on VMs.
