When the 2019 Mac Pro came out, it was "amazing" how many still photography YouTubers all got launch day deliveries of the same BTO Mac Pro, with exactly the same spec:
18 core CPU, 384GB memory, Vega II Duo GPU and an 8TB SSD.
Or, more likely, Apple worked with them and made sure each of them had this Mac on launch day, while they waited for the model they actually ordered. Because they sure as hell didn't need an $18,000 computer for Lightroom.
