I guess my thought was that people who want to

professionally are less likely to make decisions based on what
requires the least effort, which seems to be the main bragging point

They are more likely to choose what works for them.
Which for many people OS X works for them out of the box. Linux doesn't
even come close at this point to doing so out of the box for most people.
So lets say I am an audio professional about to upgrade, ignoring financial
things for the moment for various reasons. I have a choice. I can either
go with OS X and get an experience that works out of the box for what I need
it to. Or I can go with Linux and spend hours learning a new OS and
tinkering with the commandline, before I can even start to work
professionally.
For many people there isn't much choice there.
