> They sorta already do this via Rosetta.. Across Apple, to continue making x86 machines alongside ARM, is going to need a lot more than just the Rosetta software layer. Rosetta doesn't help hardware design, R&D expenditures for this tiny handful of x86 machines OP is proposing Apple keep in the lineup. Those R&D expenses for just x86 development work are much harder to justify when its just the Mac Pro that benefits, not the entire computer line, too.
