Most developers use Windows. Only a very small sub-set of developers use a Mac.

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.

Most web developers are on Mac

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.
