Most people and companies just use the keyboard that shipped with the computer. I don't think noise is as much of an issue as people make it out be.

Marketing made up this story about linear switches being for gamers. So now every mechanical keyboard needs to make unnecessary noise and offer extra resistance for harder bottom out or you're not a serious typist.

But that's not inherent to the keyboard. Linear switches are not any louder than cheapo office high-profile membrane.
