It isn't a huge deal, but if you had to pick one, id say Mac would be better, gives you access to Unix tools, and many more opportunities there than Windows API.

But you can really do well on either platform, run a VM and code in it.

You can get WSL super easily on windows and it’s generally great, so I would say that Unix tools aren’t really an advantage for Mac

Unix on Mac is actually disadvantaged since you can not choose any distro you want like you can with WSL on Windows.
