Video editors, designers, and sound mixer are a few example professions where users mostly use Apple products. Most companies have designers.

That was 5 years ago.

By now, video editors and sound mixers are heavy windows users, because there's no halfway endurable Apple machine that you can purchase that supports 128GB of RAM and 8+ CPU cores and NVIDIA CUDA. Because like it or not, almost all video editing plugins use CUDA for acceleration.

The industry standard for movie mixing supports: macOS Catalina (10.15.7), macOS Mojave (10.14.6), and High Sierra (10.13.6).

In other words, they didn't even bother with Big Sur yet.
