Bloomberg had essentially the same article (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-10/apple-s-new-mac-can-cost-52-000-that-s-without-the-400-wheels?srnd=premium https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-10/apple-s-n...), clearly intended to provoke shock at the price. While at the base level it feels a bit pricy, for example in comparison to the base iMac Pro, on the other end of the spectrum if you need 28 cores and >1TB of ram... if you need that kind of capacity, then chances are you can afford it.
