If they're not deploying on windows though, there isn't much reason to develop on it.

That's what I'm saying. It's not uncommon for companies to have AWS linux infrastructure for deployment but give everyone windows laptops for development. Don't ask me, ask the IT department.
Are they running Linux VMs? Everywhere I've worked, I'm one of the few who's not on a Mac, so I'm not familiar with companies like this.
Very typical on enterprises doing Java development.

It doesn't matter where the JVM is running.
