The Internet (mostly), the C language, the Unix Operating System were all developed and deployed on PDPs. The BASIC language /and/ an 8080 emulator was developed on a PDP in order to deploy to the Altair.

I would argue that Intel was so highly influenced by Datapoint due to sheer proximity and early inexperience in the field.
