Dev here, as well.

I really don't know what you are talking about. All my development work could probably be made on a linux computer, or windows, but I choose to use Mac just because it makes embedded work and web development so much easier.

I've long been a Mac user but never done embedded development. Just curious. What makes the Mac better for embedded development?
I’ve gone through dozens of tutorials for installing tool XYZ for Mac to develop with embedded, and not once have I had to install drivers or mess with udev rules. Things just work when you plug them in.
Maybe unavailability of workbenches is a catalyst for creativity, har har.
Nothing.

Most of the toolchains are OSS
