Tax loss. It’s not complex - capital expenditure is taken off the tax bill, so there’s people for whom these machines are phenomenally expensive and there’s people for whom they’re just a cost of doing business they’d be paying anyway. Apple know what they’re doing producing them.
Author talked to a handful of people, none of whom are using PCI cards or complex workflow. Even when he talks to the video editor who is using a MacBook for editing, he doesn’t consider that video has to be ingressed in a professional way, he’s just editing it. There are a bunch of use cases for this Mac Pro, and the author has committed a fallacy in saying “there are no use cases for the Mac Pro” just because he didn’t find anyone who needed one.
Yeah people can use Linux and windows workstations, sure. It would be trivial for Apple to abandon that sector of the market and stick to devices. I’m pretty sure that once the Apple Vision headset comes out, and perhaps a generation or two down the line with wholly-Apple chipsets, certain people will be clamouring for Mac Pros again (i.e. - stereo feeds from phenomenally high definition video cameras to provide content real-time…). But by all means stick with your shade throwing and sarcasm, what do I know, I just have 25 years experience in the industry.
