Basically, when apple or microsoft forces you to. If you want to develop with apple-based tools like metal or make stuff for apple products, you use macOS, it’s the only option. If you want to use microsoft visual basic or something of the sort you can’t really use linux. My school only taught classes in visual studio on microsoft-y programming languages for a while, and I hate virtual machines, so I kept windows mostly for that.
Right. Out of all linux distros, do some stand out when it comes to this “development experience quality”?

Arch-based distros, and by arch-based distros I mean arch and endevourOS (Manjaro is kinda 
and steamOS doesn’t have an actual package manager), have access to the AUR, which is awesome. Debian and it’s derivatives seem to be the default distro so they have the best support from commercial software, and fedora seems to be really well loved for a reason.
I can guess Hhyyrylainen might be using one of those to developed Thrive the best…
