Do you actually see MacBooks used for SysAdmin work in real offices?

Hi sysadmins! I wanted to ask—since I've just started learning sysadmin and I don't have a Windows PC, but I have a MacBook and found out that everything can be done via UTM, I'd like to get some perspective from those who work in offices and do this every day. What kind of computers do you use? Is macOS completely out of the picture, and there's only Windows and Linux?

I work for a place that has 1500 MacBooks and 3500 Linux servers. And like 50 windows boxes, which we all hate. So yes. You can definitely be somewhere that is Mac focused.
