They know macOS as an “easier alternative for normies”
Questionable amount of knowledge for techies if they aren’t aware that MacOS has a nearly full-blown FreeBSD inside.
There’s a sorta-famous photo from CERN, from early 2010s, with a room full of people who work there, all with Macbooks. A dude I know went to CERN sometimes for his university, and came to me with a question of why he’s seen so many Macs there. I explained that it’s a Unix but with a GUI made for people.

Yeah after almost 20 years of mandatory winslop workstation use, I finally had the opportunity to get a Mac work laptop. It’s night and day. Still not Linux, and I had to learn a new UX in record time but at least everything I need and the environment I’m familiar with runs natively instead of having to fight this WSL shit every hour of every day.
