And docker on Linux doesn’t support all the features that docker on Mac does. Specifically kubernetes.
You can dismiss this but if your dev shop is doing dev work that lands in a k8s cluster, it sure is nice to just have devs install docker desktop for Mac and they have a fully functioning k8s cluster that just works.
My whole company uses macs except me. I had to spend a bunch of time figuring out how to get a dev environment working on Linux. And it wasn’t easy as none of the out of the box k8s solutions support how we developed our build system. If I wasn’t a k8s admin from early versions of k8s I would have just given up.

No platform is perfect.
