Usually that complaint comes from those whose bubble developers == UNIX developers.
We have hardly any complaint in the office from those with access to our Mac pools for iOS and OS X development, meaning Objective-C and Swift and not UNIX CLI stuff.
I dunno, having seen racks full of Macbooks with plastic wedges to keep the screen just-open-enough, it sounds like doing any Mac development that would require a server component is trash since they terminated Xserve in 2011.
This doesn't sound so bad until it becomes apparent that any sort of build/test farms, like you'd want for CI, would be best served by dedicated hardware like this.
