alt Hacker NewsI'm pretty sure Apple is unavoidable if you work as a mobile app developer. I mean, no iOS SDK for Windows/Linux.
If your work area is anything other than it, perhaps the Mac isn't necessary.

How about photography and video production?

Don't they offer downloads of Xcode outside of the App Store if you pay their developer program fee? That includes their SDKs. Theoretically there is only an expenditure of time and effort to build an iOS app on Linux. I forget if it is against their terms or not, but I don't think the SDK available is a barrier.
While not strictly required, for me macOS has been less cantankerous for running Android Studio on compared to Windows/Linux too.
