Why did Siemens port NX to Linux and MacOS? Is anybody using these platforms?

RE: why Linux, MacOS
As for Linux, it overcomes the per process limitations that Windows imposes on your applications. It was also an easy port since NX already ran on Unix boxes. There area lot of smaller customers who prefer the Linux OS for cost reasons over Windows.
When I purchased one of the first microVAX/GPX workstations from McDD, the 2 seats, hardware and software, was just under $100K. While the software hasn't really changed in price in 22 years, the hardware and software functionality certainly has.
