This is a silly take, have you heard about game developers?
If there's craftmanship anywhere, its in game development, and they surely don't want to spend all their time working on a platform without proper tooling that their end users overwhelmingly do not use.
The choice of OS has nothing to do with craftmanship or "exploration". I "explored" linux many times and am not using it currently.
In fact, I'm happy to argue that most developers that care so much about the choice of OS that they are uninterested in using another one (and do not work in OS development) are probably somehow stuck in their ways and uninterested in exploration themselves.
Taken even further, currently the only important OS is the browser, and nobody cares who launches it.
I think you're generalizing from your position inside some bubble, I am not sure which. Equivalently I could imagine game developers generalizing that linux people are terminal fetishists and have no interest in getting stuff done, who would rather customize (a.k.a fight) their OS for days on end than provide end user value, and through their idealistic, puristic and dogmatic approach to FOSS they feel safe but are meanwhile vulnerable to exploits of bad actors through supply chain attacks.
I think neither take is true, nor does it hold much value to claim it, unless your aim is to divide developers into arbitrary adverse tribes.

I hope you are not somehow in charge of hiring.
