Do you think there's something about Apple devices that make them good for streaming?  I've been going to church with my wife for the past couple years now, and the church we go to has a Mac Mini set up for streaming the service online.  There are a couple cameras (one of which is an AI tracking camera) connected to an ATEM Mini Pro (used for selecting which camera you want the video to come from), which is then connected to the Mac via USB.  It uses the ATEM software to stream onto YouTube.

It seems the pastor's own laptop is a Macbook, so maybe it's because he likes Apple and Macs.

It just seems like a lot of video editors & media creators tend to use Macs, but I'm not sure there's anything that makes Macs better than Windows or Linux machines for video editing.  Maybe there isn't as much video editing software for Linux, but it seems there's plenty for Windows.

There's a YouTube channel I've been sometimes watching recently where the person who does the channel says she uses a Windows laptop because that's what she prefers, and she said she heard a lot of her media creator friends say "You need to use a Mac, you don't know what you're missing for media tools!"
