I agree this is completely unjustifiable, especially with regards to the Mac Pro. Can these machines even run Linux without losing hardware features (like T2 acceleration?) The above said, I can see why they want to do it. It makes sense to want to stop supporting Intel macs as early as they can, and that means bringing down expectations of support life every year so it’s not a sudden cutoff that would cause an uproar. It’s still B/S however you look at it though, and I feel really bad for anyone stuck on these platforms that feel like the rug has been pulled.
