yes unfortunately in terms of capturing data there isn't many programs that support mac - I think going back to intel based macs you had some options but the newer ARM based macs I haven't heard much (happy to be corrected).
Processing / editing mac should be fine - photoshop / pixinsight exist etc.
most things are of course on Windows as andrew mentioned.
you can do everything on linux (which can have the desktop environment looking similar to mac - if the look and feel is important) but you are very limited on the options for software.
You could get a cheap mini pc / nuc using either linux or windows for capture and a mac for processing if you really wanted to buy a mac.
I do shudder at the costs associated with Mac storage though!
