I do a lot of video and sound editing (high marching band, and so on), while in my real job I need intensive image processing and atomistic calculations. It simply turns out that Apple has had these two fields very much to itself when it comes to ease of use and speed for many years. Editing video is complex enough that the app should be simple to transparent, and with Final Cut, Studio, etc., it pretty much is. Same for the image processing, so the choice makes itself for me, and most people in the graphic and video arts field. If applications like this are not your thing, then I think you are perfectly justified in staying with what you know.
