I'm not sure I buy this as an argument until the new Mac Pro is released.
Having said that, the Mac Pro is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people. I think a lot of people want something between a Mac Mini and a Mac Pro. Something that could be called Mac "Midi" that would allow for some commodity parts (ram, storage, gpu) to be used.

In any case, this is probably a non-issue with TB3 and eGPUs.
- varenc 8y agoI have one of the recent Mac Mini's and upgraded the RAM and hooked up an external eGPU that's working flawlessly. (But for an easy experience you're limited to AMD cards and apple approved enclosures...) For an apple product, it was quite user upgradable. (Technically Apple says the RAM isn't user upgradable, but it's still relatively easy.)
