Hardly any startups in Silicon Valley use Windows.

That's wild. I can't dev for shit on a MacBook. I usually have to install Parallels or something if that's the case.

Or use Linux (when possible).

It makes sense. You can develop for Windows and Linux on Mac, but you can't develop for Mac or iOS anywhere else but on Mac; at least not easily. In my job, I develop full stack web but also device code for Windows, Mac, and ChromeOS. It's way more convenient for me to use a Mac with VMware running Windows and ChromeOS than trying to cobble together a device lab.
