Games are one thing, but the "applications" thing is going overboard. Right now, I have to run Visual Studio so I have to do it inside a virtual machine, and DeVry has a bunch of "IE-only" web apps that require me to use the same virtual machine... but other than that, I never have to go into Windows for anything. Keep in mind, I'm not one of those "I just check my email once a week" people either. I do a lot of different projects for my clients and 99.9999999999999999983% of it is all done in Mac OS.
Me having to boot into Windows to run Visual Studio is the same as you having to boot into Mac to run Xcode.
What's the problem with that?
PS: A "PC" is just hardware. Whether it runs Windows or Mac or Linux or OpenBSD is irrelevant. All OSes have their own native code that require you to boot into their OS to run their apps.

Convenience. I remember in the early days of Vista, I had dual boot with XP and Vista and most of my games didn't run on Vista. So whenever I was in the mood for a quick game, I had to go back to XP. it's not a huge problem but it's a hassle...
