The company is 50/50 Mac and Windows. The Macs are primarily used for Video and Audio post-production and content creation. Generally speaking, the lifecycle of the Macs lasts twice as long as the average Windows machine. Especially for laptops.

• We use several of the Macs with a SAN. macOS has built-in XSAN licensing, which saves us from additional costs.
• The price per unit is higher up front, but units last longer, so in the end, I'd say Macs cost less over their lifetime.
• The Apple image. They just look better then a Windows laptop

I use macOS in a Windows environment out of my own pocket (the company supplies Windows computers to its employees). I do this because of two primary reasons: One, my own personal computer used at work is not subject to the same management structure that the other office computers are subject to. This means all of my access is remote and no files reside on my computer - but it's a small price to pay for having newer technology. The other reason is that my entire technical life lives inside the Apple Ecosystem. I bought it years ago and am now too deep to even contemplate moving away. As such, my computer at work connects to my iPad and iPhone so I can use the functions of taking pictures with my phone from my computer as well as using my iPad as another monitor when needed.
