You certainly don't need a Mac for web development. It's based on Unix as well as Linux but both diverged a bit and now you need to virtualize docker for example and it's inefficient in comparison against Linux.

You can get "Creative software" on it but... Are you a web dev or a designer? If you are a dev, you need dev tools. Also you can use inkscape for verctors and photopea for bitmaps and, at the point where a 14" 650€ huawei renders video faster than a 13" 2000€ MacBook Pro... I can't figure out what pro makes sense on the name.
I really tried it many times on last 10 years but i couldn't get a reason for using a Mac
