You said that Apple's OS "famously doesn't get on with the greater outside-world of other OSes". That's not a claim about market dominance, it's a claim about interoperability between OSes. In the deeply technical environment in which I work, Windows and OSX are about equally represented, making up about a third each, with the other third mostly a combination of free Unix-ish OSes - principally Linux with some others such as FreeBSD etc. Of those, the one that causes by far the most pain in terms of playing well with the others is Windows.
