They can and do; I, personally do exactly that. And depending on the firm, many professional web-design institutions do likewise. The problem is just convenience.
Safari tends to work similarly to Firefox (which is available, of course, on PCs). Mac IE is a dying market. Internet Explorer for Windows is a beast completely unto itself. Since every website needs to be compatibility-tested for IE and Firefox, it makes good sense to use a PC, where you don't have to change computers or run VPC to test it in IE (Win).
But it's not impossible. Personally, I find OS X applications like CSSEdit by MacRabbit completely indispensable, and thoroughly dislike doing webdesign work on other platforms.
