Because many software packages for workstation are expensive proprietary ones, they have little reasons to move to Linux, also because they need certified hardware/software solutions too. For example, nVidia offers optimized drivers for many packages, for Windows.
While in the imaging industry you'll see macOS, in other sectors it's still proprietary Unixes and Windows.
If you like CAD, give a look to Dassault Systemes ones, they are a bit more powerful, and require quite powerful systems given what you design with them... they run on Windows and IBM System P.
