“Macs are better for creative and design work”

The historical reason was real. Desktop publishing started on the Mac, and for years both the software and the colour pipeline were better there.

Most of that has evened out. Adobe's suite is identical on both, Figma runs in a browser, Affinity ships everywhere, and DaVinci Resolve is cross-platform. Final Cut and Logic remain genuinely Mac-only, which matters a great deal if your work is built on them.

What has not evened out is display and colour consistency out of the box, and the fact that studios standardise on Macs — so freelancers buy Macs to match the studio, which keeps studios on Macs.
