The main problem is the way Apple is organized. It's what people have called a “unitary organizational form”.[1]
Which means there isn't a group whose full time job it is to concern themselves with the Mac Pro, or concern themselves with the Macbook Pro, etc.
When it's not someone's job to worry about a product, then it becomes everybody's job, which in reality means it's nobody's job. Unless and until top management deigns to allow people to work on that specific product.
This seems totally fucked up to me, but Apple has achieved $227 billion in yearly revenue, so it's "working" for them. To the aggravation of many outside observers.
