Nope.

1: most of them dont use their own products

2: someone else pays for their laptops

1: true. 2: that someone else has to get approval for the cost
Fully loaded costs for an engineer where I live are anout 15-25 a month, plus a maybe 2-3k in token consumption. Whether the laptop costs 9k or 6k makes no difference and apple knows this.
