I'm a JS Subject Matter Expert (SME) that has spent the past few years spearheading curricula and teaching initiatives at colleges and bootcamps, in person and virtually.

The main reason why is b/c Mac gives us much better experience with Terminal - iTerm2, brew package manager, etc.
Now, on the latest Windows, one can utilize the Linux subsystem, so that's not bad now - but then, you are not really using Windows then.
For most thing web dev, setting up npm and installing packages and such, my students have generally had less trouble/issues as opposed to using GitBash on Windows for this.
It's not a 'major' difference, but the terminal and package management is nice to have, which is a big part of full-stack JS. So...not JS per say - JS can be written in the browser console, technically.
Ok, so it's pretty much even, but if asking, then Mac/Linux terminal gives a more seamless web dev experience for some of the things I have mentioned here.
