I’m not sure that many people want Windows badly enough they would get an Apple device and remove the original OS so they could run Windows.

From my personal experience, Widows users in general don’t mind Windows, but, definitely, nobody I have ever met finds it more desirable than macOS.

The games industry remains a hotbed of people that vehemently hate Apple, even those that have never touched a Mac.

Part of it historically was a sort of Visual Studio induced Stockholm Syndrome, where for a long time if you were doing C++ work that was the only sane way to go.

There are some companies that even filter potential employees on this basis.

Apple leaves gamers alone, it does not even attempt to be a nontrivial gaming platform and makes no promises. Why would gamers and gamedevs hate it? It just doesn't exist in their market.

		Its a computer. People are gonna try and play computer games on it.

		From the noises that occur whenever you force a Windows loving gamedev to use a Mac the first major "problem" is mouse acceleration.

Don't have to remove anything. This used to be possible on Macs with bootcamp as they called it.

		Bootcamp was a hedge when Apple was a lot less dominant than it is now. When Apple transitioned from PowerPC to Intel, it wasn’t clear that was going to work. Being able to boot into Windows was sort of an insurance policy that’s no longer necessary.
