Apple locks in IOS developers to OSX - I'm not aware of any practical way of building IOS apps and submitting them to the app store without running OSX. That doesn't mean you need to use it as your regular personal use OS, but if you're spending your days writing IOS apps you don't have any other choice.
As an Android dev who was forced to create my app for IOS because a huge chunk of users are on IOS, the whole process of developing for IOS gave me brain cancer. XCode (like itunes) is a worthless piece of garbage. It's unfucking unbelievable how little this "IDE" accomplishes. And uploading to app store (with certificates, provisioning profiles, launch images, icons etc) sucked all the brain juice out of me. The err…
I dropped Ubuntu after three sequential bad quality upgrades (blocking bugs, lost configuration for upgraded packages, Unity). I won't use Windows because the command line isn't unix-style. Remains Mac OS X. Never had a single day of administration. What we need is open-source with a budget...

Because for the end user it offers a clean high-quality user experience with minimal friction.
That is more powerful than anything else. It's more powerful than cost or freedom, and the developers can suck it.
Microsoft was always shit for developers too, but it gave users what they want and users pay.

re: "asset tag and call if lost sticker". I think it's also a great idea to not have your user and hostname set to be "johnbigbucks@bestinvestconsulting" but something more generic or randomized. I use something like this to randomize my hostname. awk 'length==6' /usr/share/dict/words | grep -v '[^[:alpha:]]' | shuf -n 1 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
because i'm somehow compelled to golf such things (like unnecessary use of cat): egrep '^[[:alpha:]]{6}$' /usr/share/dict/words | shuf -n 1 | tr A-Z a-z
Yep, that's elegant. It's so easy to write bad bash scripts that I do it all the time. So much to learn on my end.

Thanks for your post btw, I did not know about this tool `shuf`. My equivalent involves `sort -r | head -1`
