Let’s be real here, the vast majority of developers are not the type of person to want to dig into the depths of their computer. Then just want something that works so they can write their code.
They may have started that way, but doing a hobby as your job will kill almost all interest you have in it.
I mean, yeah sure, but do you think that every linux user distro hops (especially on company time) and tinkers with dot files all the time? Eventually the linux user will settle down to their preferred config, store it on their source control and be done with it.
On the other hand you have MacOS where you can customise uh… darkmode or lightmode with an accent color (okay thats the same with GNOME) and perhaps your shell of choice but thats it.
I don’t think half of our devs have even changed their wallpaper. They’ll set the UI to dark mode, and that’s about it for the OS. They’ll tweak their IDEs a decent bit, but OS wise they really don’t seem to care.
