This is very familiar problem in small scale electronic design too I do not
understand it at all. Without resorting to stereotypical/anecdotal opinions
based on no real data.

It makes no sense - look at FPGAs or micro-controllers - none of their
applications will ever use or target Windows, yet their vendors insist on crappy
Windows based software, not very suitable for productive work.

Compare that to chip design or "big software" where the same software runs
exclusively on Linux (formerly on Unix of some kind) forever.

If you want to be productive you need to run your funny crappy design SW in
Windows VM and do most of the other work on Linux. ... or the other way around
do the work on linux through VNC on Windows. Because there is no other way to
browser web and read emails than in Chrome on Windows!

No surprise there - Human behavior appears to be mostly irrational - not sure
how we got this far on this planet - probably only due to aliens like Elvis,
Albert, Elton, Tesla, Edison, Carnegie, Ford, Elon .... You can tell, especially
Elon would really, really like to find a way to get the hell out of this place
back home ... anywhere ...

LOL
