OK, your power in an organization is proportional to your budget and the number of staff you control. Many senior IT types like Windows, it needs a lot of hand-holding staff, gets expensively updated, and breaks on a regular basis; and is "what everybody uses".
Plausible support for this idea is that IBM who, arguably, invented the PC (Wintel) ditched manufacture of PCs to Lenovo. IBM (Perhaps, as part of their cost-cutting slow amble to the bottom?) stated that they use a lot of Apple kit. They claim support costs are lower than for Windows. Here is my post from last year:-
----------------------------------------------
...At the end of 2019 they (IBM) had ~290,000 Apple devices of which ~200,000 use macOS. At the same time they had 383,800 employees, obviously some employees will use more than one device. I have a relative who is a very senior IBM techie who told me that in his (large) part of IBM far more techies use Linux than Windows - He was also of the opinion that a number of IBMers elected to go to Apple rather than move from Windows 7 to 10.
According to IBM, Mac users cost less to support with about 1/3 of the support personnel and are generally happier and more productive.

The last link is probably incorrect (or very worrying?!), as it states that IBM ditched 92% of their workforce in 2020 - Other links suggest ~345,000 current staff - So unless COVID was worse that we believe...
