> outside the consumer hardware market Apple is a no-show.

I don’t have the data, but tech companies are often full of Macs. Sometimes I also see small businesses running iMacs.

My company is a couple thousand large and we have maybe 50 PCs in the whole org.
Indeed, to an almost comical extent. I worked at a Mac-only shop that spent 50+ engineering hours per-month debugging the Darwin runtime. Our product didn't ship to Mac either, so we were basically fanagling a Win32 + Linux server toolchain to work on a platform we didn't support.

Tech companies count as consumers, and many consume the Apple product even if it's to their detriment.

Not so much outside a couple of G20 like countries, Windows and GNU/Linux win out.

Then there are all the electronic devices that have CPUs on them and don't run any kind of Apple related software.
