...then it would be piped through their design-council, run through 5 more iterations to get a unique unibody case for it, accompanied by an optional proprietary Apple rack and a price-tag triple of the competition. That's along the lines of how it usually rolls whenever Apple tries to make something purely utilitarian, it's the most considerate and "fresh" look at a product, but ultimately designed to be used and then disposed when finished. A purely utilitarian IT-appliance without a individual end-user doesn't seem to be possible in their product pipeline, you usually end up with something "Prosumer": Impressive on its own, yet of degraded maintainability and scalability. It's like asking Bugatti to design a public transport bus. It would surely be an impressive bus, but not one you would want to maintain over years at a scale of hundreds.
