Its wrong comparison. There are many variables to eating MCD, couple of them - takes less time to "prepare", some likes the taste and so on. Plus its food and subjective preferences, and when we are talking about developers and their work/business they do what is more productive.

So on computers and developers:

you have 2 options:
a) buy regular laptop and do your job in x hours
b) buy OSx laptop and do you job in way less than x hours

Why would anyone choose a? Besides tiny fact that osx laptop cost more, but thats irrelevant (because that price difference would be earned back in no time, since developers earn good money).

So serious question - why would any developer choose to have worse productivity?
