I am jaded here so take it with a grain of salt. I figured the new Mac Pro was priced as such along with that monitor and stand as to spit in the faces of the fans that had been badgering Apple for years over the debacle that the Mac Pro had become. As in, Apple said fine, but you aren't the customer we want and you cannot afford it. Then again I am not even sure Apple wants any of that market, the machine by looks and its monitor seemed tailored made for influencers. that monitor stand was just a shark jumping moment if ever. Seriously though, while the modular portion is an interesting take it is a convoluted method to deliver the upgrade path people wanted but worse it traps people to Apple which of course benefits Apple. FWIW, custom configurations of iMacs are US assembled too. For the EU I think that work is done in Ireland.
