But the question was about the music/media industry where mac (according to the general opinion anyway) has a bigger share than the total usage world wide. I would guess tradition is the answer. Some programs like Logic is only available on Mac as well (because Apple bought it and scrapped the PC version).
Mobile wise if you buy an admittedly more expensive macbook you know it will work at low latencies and you avoid the crapshoot of DPC latency issues on Windows laptops, this is a major plus for none techie types who just want something to work, for some this surety is worth the cash over hassle!
For Live use some people just prefer MainStage although Forte for Windows is also an excellent Application for Live hosting, sadly though since MainStage is now so cheap it looks overpriced (It's not really!).
