But that argument simply books down to &quot;more expensive computers cost more&quot;. True a Linux computer might cost $500 and got $0 more you can program on it. A Mac might cost $800 and for $0 more you can program on it. The marginal cost to develop is the same. But I could easily spec up a Linux workstation costing thousands of dollars. Macs being expensive doesn&#x27;t make Linux computers more expensive, it doesn&#x27;t raise he costs for anybody else. So who exactly is being harmed here? I just don&#x27;t really see what useful point is being made.
