When I went through college I had to get a MacBook as part of my kit
Literally couldn't use a different device if I wanted to because of forced app usage (when there were cross platform alternatives that would work just fine)
I've also worked somewhere that forced a MacBook onto me as a work device but also allowed us to sticker it up if we wanted cuz they weren't gonna take it back until it was basically useless anyway
Many places one can get a mac, a couple of them are actually forced on you
