Of approx 5,000 employees there are less than 20 Macs at my workplace. We're a Dell/Windows shop with Ubuntu as a popular option for devs.

Outside of the tech departments staff usually get generic corporate hardware for light desktop/browser workloads.

The point isn't that there are many shops that don't really do Macs. The point is that there are many that do support Macs. It's pretty common in tech-company circles, at least. That's not everything, but it proves it's not weird.

Of course, most companies aren't going to spend on a Mac laptop; a $500 Windows laptop (or whatever) is usually good enough for many roles.

They would probably earn more money from selling those 20 macs than 200+ official hackintosh licenses.
