dev of 30 years worth 7 figs: I used windows for 20 years and swapped to mac to build iOS apps for a while. Mac is better. open the lid and it’s instantly available. No weird need to reboot every 2 days. No shitty candy crush bullshit shipped with the OS. No forced OS upgrades. No forced reset of your preferred browser. No need to run shittty Cygwin or other workaround crap. Resale value is sky high for a reason. Your 5 year old windows laptop is basically junk.

swap to mac, get shit done.

Apple gets GRANTED 2000+ patents every year.
Which is quite a lot for a company whose last innovative product was a phone 15+ years ago.
idk exactly how many of these protected 'innovations' are trackpad related, but it's certainly not null. 'Just copy Apples lmao' is not that easy - trillion dollar purveyors of overpriced pish also tend to have expensive lawyers.

Of course they do. MacOS is what Linux could be if all the infighting was resolved and everyone got together and built a system that works properly, and even got together to perfect the hardware as well. Not only that, technically it's better still because MacOS has BSD underpinnings. So anybody who can afford Mac uses Mac. Everything else is either cope, retardation, or running file servers and hobbyist stuff.

Must have been a dev team using a .NET focused tech stack. Those offices are always Microsoft Kingdom. C#, Visual Studio, MS SQL Server, etc.. It's more common than you'd think nowadays, as Windows has matured into a fairly competent development environment these days.
