> Windows is the outlier here, and I know plenty of engineers (myself included) which have no interest in trying to make things work in the Windows ecosystem.
... But it's still much larger than everything else put together, no?

I'm not sure what a reliable way of counting for developer machines would be but I'd doubt it'd be anything like it was in the 90s and early 2000s - as a consultant it's pretty rare that I'd see a developer running windows these days, even big old enterprises like banks and insurance seem to be largely Mac for technical users it seems. I have no doubt that I'll have some folks jump on this comment and disagree stating they see the opposite and I'm in a bubble - but that is the honest truth (at least here in Australia anyway).
Personally (and most people I know) see windows as user stuff. Not developer stuff. So CLI tools etc are linux/mac-first. Lots of projects I find nowadays don't even have a windows build...
