You know I always hear this about Macs but I've never had any difficulty editing pictures or video on my windows machine and can't imagine how it would be "better" on a Mac (faster, higher resolution, finer degree of control?). Are there certain, ultra top of the line programs that are exclusive to Macs or what?

I'm not remembering 100% but basically it's just clever marketing and there isn't really anything a Windows PC just can't do that a Mac can. I *think* some things are easier/faster just because of the architecture of the OS but idk if that's even true anymore.

It's just people repeating some dumb poo poo they've heard. Like I think in the 90s the graphics processing on Macs was better and so now it's just 'Mac is better for video editing.'

final cut pro is exclusive to mac iirc, but it's more for enthusiasts than professionals. real big-money productions have other dedicated software intended for top-level use, fcp is for small-time joints and like local news

This happens to me at the beginning of every semester. What part of Apple marketing screams that the Mac is what you want for graduate level economic course work?

what even stats programs do you people use?

i do some biostats type data analysis and everything i could ever need is available for mac and it's easier to use the shared computing cores on campus because they're all unix based

like use whatever computer you want but talking about data/stats software not being available for mac is a weird argument

it used to be that macs were the best choice for many multimedia applications around 10 years ago but these days there's not too much of a difference. adobe started branching out and making a lot more programs that appeal to lots of graphic designers and gradually made them simpler to use, so the playing field really leveled out.
