The latter, yes. If you go to a meeting and don’t have a MBP, they’re going to think you don’t know what you’re doing half the time. And if you have a MBP for remote work, you might as well have an iMac or a Mac Pro to do work with at home too.
I’m out of the industry now and my MBP died, so I’m running Mint on a Thinkpad. And when this iMac dies, I’ll probably do something similar.

Is it fair? No. But them’s the breaks.
I think you are essentially saying using Apple on average will make you more money, but I would say that money isnt always the most important thing.
Plenty of people choose to make less money than they know they could with other means, for a variety of reasons.
The question is whether there is room at all for that group of people in your industry in the US?
Then you don’t have kids.
