Did Quake III beta really start on linux?

I saw a video saying that the beta for quake 3 started on linux at the time. Can anyone confirm this? And possibly the reason?

QuoteAfter the IHV leak, id Software released a beta of the game called Quake III Arena Test on April 24, 1999, initially only for Mac OS[8] before expanding to Windows at a later date.
