It's pretty much this reason that I started running Linux in a VM for my development work, and use macOS for everything else. macOS is fundamentally just a better ecosystem in my opinion for everything it caters to - that is, I actively use an iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Macbook. I use a lot of apps that sync seamlessly between each other and simply run best on macOS (or only run on macOS).
However, I've been burned _1000_ too many times for almost all of my development work (the sole exceptions have been Go and Java). But writing Python was a nightmare, last I checked (although this was prior to the full deprecation of Python2). Since then, I run an easily repeatable, tight-knit developer VM that I ssh into (or run graphical if absolutely necessary, like to handle oauth flows), and I literally do not notice any difference. It's as if it were native macOS (with the exception that I'm not running shared folders, so some files don't exist as far as Finder is concerned).
