Purely because mac have locked in the creative markets. When you go to film/audio/graphic school you learn on mac fostering platform dependency.. you work in the field you have to work on mac because thats what the guys setting up the office learnt on.. you lecture kids at college you have to lecture on macs. Trust me.. if every mac was taken out of every classroom for the next 15 years and replaced with lecturers using PC's macs would be a thing of the past, they are not inherently better, they have just done a VERY good job in the educational market which retains their first mover advantage in the creative industry back in the 80s.
I've used and lectured on macs, but i've set up whole graphic studios using PC's... film.. 3d the works. I wouldn't waste my money trying to do the same thing with macs.
Although I will freely admit audio is a little out of my area. I run an Athlon 64 Mbox Protools system lol.. not exactly top of the line
