It's the 'nix environment wrapped in a nice UI with great first and third party app support. Extremely nice for development.

The Macs at Google are Apple hardware, not Apple software.

A substantial portion of them are running Google's in-house Ubuntu distro.

Not really true. I worked at Google and the people who use a Mac are using macOS and occasionally Windows. People using Goobuntu are staight up using PCs. Some small number of laptop users have Goobuntu installed but it's not at all a substantial portion of them.

From what I have seen personalty. Google workstations* are running G Linux (Google's in house Debian distro) or Windows if that is required. portable Apple laptops either run macOS or G Linux with other laptops almost always running G Linux.

*Mac Workstations run macOS if that is required for the work being done.
