Apple has won for people who can afford quality. If a student has $400 for a laptop, it doesn’t matter how much they appreciate quality, they can’t afford the MacBook and will buy something cheaper.
Anecdotally, I work in a coworking space with lots of businesses in Australia, and I’d say about 85% of people in the office space have MacBooks.
What quality? We had to sue Apple in a class action because the motherboard in our MBP (and many other people's) died 7 times and the 8th time it happened Apple wanted to charge us $1200 to replace it again. We had to sue them, but we won.

That doesn't prove quality. All it proves is you are in an echo chamber. I've worked in lots of corporate environments that were all PC and some that were all Apple, and a few that were mixed. All it really depends on is if the company values appearances or functionality, and appearances are one of Apple's main value propositions.
