I've been a Mac user since the late 80s and the news of its dominance has escaped me.

~15-20% is nothing to sneeze at, but hardly dominance

A lot of people in unis over here use macs

Maybe dominant in the USA? People venerate Malus products there.

But any tech company provides Macs now, not Linux hardware. They even boast about it in their job ads and use it as bait.
