In those Marketing Communications groups, they use Corel Draw and PhotoShop
on a Mac, and that's all they know and it's all they ever want to know.

 
Why shouldn't they if it works and provides value to the business?
 

While most engineers wouldn't touch the primitive Mac with a ten foot pole,

 
Primitive lol. Ask yourself why so many scientists use macs. Plus musicians
and film makers. Windows just doesn't cut it.
 

these drawing-related groups revel in their love of every Apple provides.

If you showed up with a Linux box and said they'd have to use it, they'd
drop dead of heart attacks one by one, the moment they had to type
something instead of pulling down a menu inside of those classic apps.

 
What professional level drawing and graphics applications exist on linux?
 

In the corporate world, those drawing-related Mac users are typically far
less educated than the far better educated engineers who are,

 
Your implication is misplaced and reflective of your bias to which I refer
to my earlier comment.
 

as a result,
mostly on Linux and who mostly use Windows for Microsoft Office.

 
On a mac you can do both on one system. That's why I shifted from linux +
windows.

I have to say I haven't used the mac for many years, but when I did, it was
atrocious in how limited it was. It was the Apple way or you failed.

Most people failed which is why Windows, as bad as it is, owns the lions
share of the market for corporate desktops.

Let's google whether or not that statement is true:

First Google cite:
 [https://www.statista.com/statistics/218089/global-market-share-of-windows-7]
  In 2024, Windows is 72 percent, Apple macOS is 15%.

There are good reasons that macOS doesn't serve the needs of most
corporations - otherwise the macOS share would have been higher.

It's the same reason that the iPhone has a very low market share.
 [https://www.google.com/search?q=iphone+market+share+2024]
"Apple claimed a 17.3 percent share of the market in the first quarter of
2024, a decrease from the previous quarter. Apple's long time competitor,
Samsung, ranked first with a market share of 20.8 percent."

The main reason is Apple products only work well if every one of
your devices is an Apple product, which Tim Cook himself has said.

The only way Apple devices work is when they're all in the walled garden.
