I use Linux as primary platform for development (C++, Java, Python, PHP) and Windows as secondary platform, as long as we deliver products for Windows.

MacOS is irrilevant for us, as long as the market share in Enterprise field is really low.

Why would I do that when I can buy a Mac?

Maybe to contrast pumped prices for hardware found on other vendors' hardware, costing half or a third of it? (true especially for the entry level MacBooks, which have same hw of a 500€ laptops from Hp or Lenove

what about OpenJDK with OpenJFX? Building by myself it's an overkill task (it requires Qt for Webkit), especially on more platforms. I think it's a pity there are no public available releases of OpenJDK with included JavaFX out there.

When Oracle will remove it in Java11, it would be even worse
