That's a little different. In that case they aren't trying to lure you in with the monetary value of Apple gear, what they are really saying is you won't have to worry about working with crappy hardware. It's assumed that you think the latest Apple gear is the best tool for the job. That May or may not be correct, but that's for you to decide.
People who earn SV developer salaries can afford all the latest Apple gear (or as much of it as they want, anyway).
