The professional market is still mostly Pro Tools.
I don't know anyone who delivers sessions in any other format.
You get a few people who use other DAW's but they often have Pro Tools as well.
But there has been difference and variation in the market for years.
I started on C-Lab Notator, that eventually became Logic.
Digital Performer is older than Pro Tools.
The reason Pro Tools took control of the pro market in the US is because of how the audio editor works (the edit page IS the sample editor) so it is really flexible.
Also, guaranteed DSP.
It is less of an issue now but I record with lower latency with HDX than I can with a native system and native systems fall over more when they are at the ragged edge of performance. With HDX you know exactly how much processing is on tap.
But Studio One is neat, it is a natural follow on from Pro Tools because it shares many of the same key commands, so if you a Pro Tools user trying to get more into midi and writing with soft synths then it makes sense.
I would argue Logic is more powerful for songwriting and arrangement though.
But you can work in most DAW's an acceptable degree.
Pro Tools has a natural home in audio-post, dolby Atmos and the like- I don't see that changing anytime soon.
At the hobbiest end there is more variation.
The best DAW is the one you have and the one you know best.
I've had to force myself to use Pro Tools at times because I naturally gravitate towards Logic, I've been using it for almost 30 years and I'm really fast with it.
The reason I forced myself is I need to be sharing audio with people and they all use Pro Tools.

Apple don't really lower prices in that way.
Certainly not in the first year.
They didn't lower the price of the last Mac Pro until is was well and truly out of date.
Over the odds is relative- if you really want to save money then building an i9 PC workstation is the way to go.
But you lose access to the Mac OS unless you want to do Hackintosh, which means you are then into a completely different game of 'making it work'.
It is an expensive machine but not more than the audio interface I use (48 channels via HDX) or the monitoring.
It is a tax write down and I won't think about buying another main studio computer now until 2025 at the earliest, maybe even 2027.
If I get through to 2025 then it is about £4.8 a day, if 2027 then about £3.40.
I've got no regrets at all- it is blazingly fast for what I'm doing.
