You can only develop IOS apps on Apple products, apple does not offer a matte display. The argument only holds true if Apple offered a matte display and developers still chose glossy.
No for sure there are people who want MacOS -- but again those people don't have a choice if they want a Apple they get gloss. So the argument does not hold.
People buy apple despite glossy screens, not because of glossy screens.

Or if the iOS thing is a red herring, and tons of developers still buy Apple products regardless.
I'm not an iOS/macOS developer and still use Apple products (and just about everybody else in my company). And in most dev conferences for totally unrelated stuff (Golang, Rust, Java, etc.) the number of MBP yielding devs is 50% or most (and most of the speakers even more so).
But you are missing the Apple does not offer a matte. So if you decide you like the rest of the hardware and OS you have no choice.
If apple offered a matte MBP then you would have numbers that could mean something. You have many users using glossy displays because that is all that apple offers. It does not mean they actually prefer glossy screens.
I remember when apple stopped offering matte and TONS of people were outraged.
There was a huge backlash. People hates it. Apple pushed forward anyways. They knew they had a monopoly on Apple hardware and the iPhone would ensure they could make silly decisions without backlash.
Has the market spoken about removing evey single port from their laptops ? Donglegate ? There are many other things apple did that people have been very vocal about.
The number of people doing something does not strengthen your argument. Even more so given that Apple does not offer matte displays.
