I honestly think it has very little to do with the OS itself.

I think it's more about practicalities and inertia - ordering laptops with the OS preinstalled, administering them, corporate VPN software, etc.

Both are great development OSs, but OS X is a better corporate OS.

+1 for the corporate part. That said I've been at two large corpos where Ubuntu LTS was an official, blessed, IT-managed workstation OS option. In fact some development projects have it as the default OS, because some software simply doesn't build on non-Linux OSes and requires Linux VMs on Windows or macOS. For example AOSP.
