The dominance of Macs in the media creation space traces back to original Macintosh era when Macs were pretty much the most cost effective solution for drawing shit on a computer.

Professional businesses mistakenly outfit their offices with Facebook machines more often than you'd think.
Dow the street from Turner is a company called Macquarium. When they opened, there was an iMac on every desk... or so it appeared. The design folks were indeed using them but the software developers and management were all using Windows but had the machines hidden under their desks while the monitors were an Apple model that looked like an iMac. Got to keep up appearances for when the clients drop by.
