There are way more windows power users than mac power users
I'm not sure, many developers use mac to get working unix tools and working "enterprise" tools at work like Teams and other crap that the company uses for "everyone". Sadly many of these tools work like crap on Linux and maybe in best case the web-version is workable.
You're confusing developers with power users here. At my company, the developers can do one thing well, but are far, far from power users with any technology. The amount of times I've seen them get stuck at a simple error message without doing more than throwing their hands up thinking they don't have permissions or something is actually broken, without doing the least bit of troubleshooting is both baffling and frustrating.
