PRO FOOLS and other stuff is used because humans are gregarious animals. The trendies wish to be cooler, than ordinary Microsoft users. An Apple computer is a status symbol and often not the best choice for a recording studio. We can't stay close !!! to the averaged "desktop user community", if we need real real-time. It begins with default settings for the DE, e.g. sound for the desktop. When I'm using the computer for office work etc. I don't need audio, but the averaged user wish to have audio. If I use it to make music, I won't here any voice from the trash can that is double as loud as my recordings are.
