> Most CI is on Linux, but most developers are on Windows or macOS

Do you have any data on this ? Maybe that's industry dependent, but I hardly know any Windows (not even talking about macOS, that's almost nil) developers outside of video games and web dev. 100% of Rust devs I know use Linux, to keep on the subject.

Data that most people don't use Linux as their day-to-day desktop OS for development? I suppose you can just look at desktop Linux statistics, which shows <5% usage. In my experience, most use macOS, or Windows via WSL2, which does use Linux but I am not sure if that is actually reflected in any desktop OS statistics.
