"Did these move to Linux or did the applications themselves migrate to Windows."
The film industry has deep pocket to develop custom applications and Linux helps to keep the licenses cost down. But you will see a lot of Macs for design and prototyping, then they can switch to Linux ones.
But people with far less deep pockets can't really develop their own applications and rely on off-the-shelf applications. Many CAD, even high-end ones, are not available for Linux.
It's a basic facts that beyond computer nerds and activsts, people choose applications and then the OS on which they run upon. People pay for work done, not for what OS you use.
