Sure a high end workstation can be a worthwhile investment but the internals are just extremely underwhelming for the price. Even the iMac Pro seems like an incredible bargain in comparison.
The base model Mac Pro is $1000 more expensive than the base model iMac Pro but has 1/4 the storage, a slower GPU, and lacks the presumably very expensive built in 5K display. RAM is the same and CPU appears to be similar.
Now they haven't revealed upgrade pricing but I'm sure they are going to charge a similarly large markup and the top models will probably be north of $20K. Clearly people are willing to pay a premium for MacOS but I think a lot of people will start asking themselves if it is really worth something like $5-10K over similar workstation hardware from other vendors.
