This mostly goes back to the time when the machine was first introduced (1984). IBM PCs were mostly text based and seen as business machines while the Mac (and the earlier Apple ][ and Apple III) supported graphics as well as text. So the Mac was seen by people doing graphics design as a better machine for their purposes. This resulted in a large number of graphics design applications being written for Macs early on, long before any were written for PCs.
Now equally good graphics design applications are available for both platforms, but many graphics designers remember the early days and still prefer to work on Macs. Also if a large investment was made in early Macs its less expensive and there will be fewer file format compatibility issues if upgrades are made to newer Macs than by converting to PCs, so graphics design companies have tended to stick with Macs over the years. >
