He might mean uber studios or real tech nerd ones.. not the one down the street. Apple work really hard to keep the design and music markets loyal, ie giving apples to artists and making them sign statements they won't say they were given to them to make it look like they chose to use the platform rather than it just be swag so apple can have creative cred. But most recording studios do use them... I can't say I've been into a $1000 an hour place though and there is no reason not to use PCs other than engineer familiarity so it's possible if you consider the crazy audio nerd cards out there.
Some of the graphics cards/cpu arrays proper mac video rigs use aren't anything to sneeze at though.. I remember one of them we used at the old place I worked being US$60k so although you don't get a lot of 3d work being done on them and much in the prosumer market they do have grunt at the very top professional end of the market... Although of course you may as well just use avid.
