Simple:

- Apple hardware looks better (regardless of what you think of the rest of it)

- Apple hardware is less distracting (more minimalist than most non-Apple stuff) so the focus is on the product itself

- Apple has the single most common hardware models (Android may be more common overall, but the iPhone is more popular than any single Android device).

I mean really, who wants to have their app surrounded by some clunky boxy Dell laptop? You're basically sending the message of "look at how out-of-date we are". It's not about market share of devices, it's about perception of your product.



Maybe someone wants to send the message of "We're available on Windows/Android only"

It's not just about looks, y'know.
