No Macbooks allowed at GS?

I came across this in a wsj article... “Coders wooed from Silicon Valley had their requests for MacBooks rejected by Goldman’s compliance department, employees said.“ https://www.wsj.com/articles/goldman-sachs-tries-banking-for-the-masses-its-been-a-struggle-11569643252 Goldman doesn’t let devs use Mac?? Is this 2005?

The firm has been using virtual machines instead of desktops/laptops for employees .... and i guess running two different data centers with different OS is expensive ...
