I am not sure your reference really contradicts what I was saying; it is talking about what 'platform' do you develop for, not what OS you use to do your development (I mean, AWS is listed as the #4 platform, which is not a desktop OS).

All the servers that run the code I write are Linux machines, so I would say I develop 'for' the Linux platform. However, I use a mac laptop to type that code.

It's listing what technologies are used by developers. I would wager very few use Macs to develop for Windows.

The vast majority of developers out there are using Windows. I would believe the majority of start-up engineers are using Macs, but the world of software development is probably 100x that of "start-up engineers."
