It also depends on what you develop. Web based software isn't web based software. I develop web based software as well and close to half of that is spent in a terminal. With WSL2 it became bearable under Windows. But still not as nice as on a Unix based device.
I know folks that never leave their IDE for their job. And they probably don't care much about the underlying OS. But that isn't what my job looks like or that of the folks around me. So if someone told me it doesn't matter I know they've only seen a small bubble of what web development is or can be.
