I disagree with the last part of this sentence. I know a lot of developers, the vast majority of whom have preferred Apple laptops for years, and very few of whom develop in Objective-C and Swift. I agree with a lot of other commenters that Apple are becoming more and more complacent and arrogant about the developer part of their customer base, which I think is larger than perhaps they realise.

Then they should have bought a laptop with a pure GNU/Linux or BSD variant, and help companies that target UNIX developers stay in business. Pure UNIX server software was never the developers target market of neither NeXT or Apple. UNIX compatibility was always just a means to port UNIX workstation software into their OSes, not as a means to write UNIX server software. Just like Microsoft did in the past and is now doing it again. Their developer target market are the ones using their sancioned languages and SDKs.
