I wouldn't say they're "targeted at coders", but Macbooks seem to be very popular with them these days.
In fact, I don't exactly see coders being very discriminating on keyboard quality overall. The main people who seem to care a lot about keyboards (and who keep the high-end mechanical keyboard makers in business) are gamers, not coders.

Seemingly less and less so as time goes on.

There's a reason why some coders are Thinkpad fans. You don't have to be very discriminating for coding, but a modicum of ergonomics does make a difference.

Interesting idea. I wonder what the percentages are of clicky keyboards versus switches like Cherry blacks?

Some != majority. Sure, I've seen some who are Thinkpad fans (or, like me, Dell Latitude fans). But they're a minority. I'm sure I've seen more that were Apple fans, even the ones doing Linux coding.
