I'm on the faculty at Boston University in the computer science department, where I teach software engineering, intro courses, and application architecture and development. Also a bit of a Deadhead.
Enterprise Architect at a well established fintech company. Been coding for >14 years professionally (>21 years in total). Web is where most of my experience lies.
Very good question Perry :) It was a company decision really, for 2 reasons. 1 - the iMac's all look nice on the desks, and 2 - they hold their resale value better than PC's.
For my own machine at home, I went with the Macbook Pro because I found they last longer and again they hold their value better.
I personally would choose a PC at work normally though as then I could use Docker too. That's another thing that doesn't work with Windows in Bootcamp unfortunately!

Great observation, Sarah. I have to ask, if you spend 99.9% of your time at work in Windows, why did you opt for a Mac?
