Because it's based on Unix and behaves closer to Linux hosting, their apps will be running on. Windows usually is preferable if you're doing legacy .NET. else the above still applies.

I bought my first macbook in 2013/14. I switched to it because at the time I was having a lot of pain getting any non-Windows specific development to work all of the time. On that machine I was able to do Mac, Windows, Linux, cloud, and mobile dev without issue. I replaced it with an M1 I use now

because unix systems are basically IDEs (integrated development environment) they have all sorts of small programs that are helpfule when writing code, just take a look at grep or sed or awk or many many others
