Is having 1-3 Mac guys and 1-3 Windows guys (which is realistically all the vast majority of apps would need) really that much more expensive? To me it seems the real attraction is being able to hire from a giant pool of cheap, generic, interchangeable, fully replaceable developers.

A giant pool? Sorry, not really. JS skills are highly sought after, and finding good, experienced front end developers is very hard. Inexperienced developers are easy to find in any language, including your favorite one, whatever that is.
The "cheap, generic, interchangeable, fully replaceable" part just sounds bitter and vindictive, no need to respond to that.
When there were way fewer personal computers and software was much harder to develop and distribute, companies would write software for Mac, PC, Amiga, Atari ST, and even Apple IIgs.
