It really depends on the context and the context within the context.
I used to manage a medium sized IT firm in Colombia on a hybrid manner.
One of our biggest clients had a sort of high end boutique set of businesses and two bigger businesses that interacted quite more with the regular public.
For the high end boutiques he asked us ONLY and ONLY to use mac's both because down there they are synonym of "prestige and class" and because the (very attractive) women that he hired for most roles were only familiar, or preferred mac's and were consumer's exclusively of apple's walled garden.
We had a bunch of customers like that, the real issue is that if this were on place I would have made it an option for my clients, eventually some things like security or software may move a significant number of users there, specially after the new mac mini, the neo and the ma air become budget options compared to a lot of what microsoft is offering in latam and some parts of Europe.
