Entertainers are not Engineers.

They fall for marketing significantly easier and use Veblen goods to signal wealth and power.

Then they get used to a system and it's all they know. It's more effort to change and they get locked in.

Out of the FAANG companies I can’t speak for Facebook and Netflix, but I can assure you that the engineers at Apple, Amazon, and Google have a broad preference for macOS and Apple laptops. Since the pandemic even the engineers using desktop Linux have mostly transitioned to Apple laptop + remote Linux server.

Software engineers are not Engineers if we use the strict definition of Applied scientists.

Software engineers are forced to use tradition and Authority due to abstraction.

I say this as a programmer.

Don't be ridiculous. The designers at the highest level of entertainment are extremely technical.
