Why? These are brands and products the vast majority of the public use and know. It would make a film less realistic if their products didn't appear.

I agree that blatant product placement is offensive (Bond), but just having a Macbook on a table doesn't annoy.

Actually, it's highly unrealistic to see everyone using the exact same platform or exact same software. Especially the Apple products, as their perception of ubiquity is highly inflated by their advertising.
It's also highly unrealistic to see everyone looking like actors and supermodels. Especially within the set of people who know emacs and nmap.
