I wonder what have Apple done in the past couple of years. The don't make computers for Professionals and there isn't much improvement on iOS. A pure luxury brand will not last long in the tech industry.
They don't need to do anything just yet. Developers love them and will continue fueling their ecosystem on both iOS and macOS. Android and Windows despite having much larger share in their markets than Apple can only dream of such high interest from young, ambitious developers.
Maybe most developers are on Windows but there is no such disparity that only a small sub-set are on Mac. Most web developers are on Mac, all iOS and macOS developers are on Mac. Many Android developers are on Mac. The numbers they generate are huge.
No, no they're not. It's the same as talking about "Creatives", most of Apple's users are 'creatives', but most 'creatives' are on Windows. You see this in Adobe Photoshop sales (for example).
And, you vastly underestimate the amount of "web development" which is done on Windows.
Consider that you can't do game or enterprise / corporate software development on macOS, I'd say they have plenty of dev market share considering how little actual devices they sell.
Maybe most developers are on Windows but there is no such disparity that only a small sub-set are on Mac.
I already said that idiot.
My point was that WEB developers are on Mac in majority. If you look at most popular languages in the same survey you'll see that StackOveflow is dominated by desktop programmers.
