As a software engineer at Google, I can say that all of my work is done on a Chromebook remoted into a gLinux desktop.
Macbooks are not allowed unless you get explicit exceptions for specific business reasons (QA iOS apps, iOS dev work, etc).
Did that happen in 2022? I'm a Xoogler as of spring 2022 and when I left everyone on my team used a macbook, several of them new macbooks, and I know several people got exceptions to get more powerful macbooks during WFH.
