For the same reason they use it for gaming: Because enterprise software was developed for it, and ONLY it, in a majority of cases.
Solidworks for example. Your engineers and designers will almost definitely make use of it - Windows only. Runs like shit in Linux or anything else. Same with most enterprise software. Even the ones that have Linux builds are usually like “You can use this, but thar be dragons and we won’t tech-support you through them”
Ain’t that the truth. I’d have abandoned Windows a while back if Linux could run Solidworks without issue. FreeCAD is great but it has a long way to go to make it more intuitive and user friendly.
