alt Hacker NewsThe audience for Mac Pro buyers is almost nothing, full stop. It failed to find a niche, and now Apple is getting rid of it: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/26/apple-discontinues-mac-...
Part of the reason the new Mac Pro failed to find an audience can definitely be blamed on macOS' hostility to third party hardware. Who knows what Apple would be worth if they beat Nvidia's Grace CPU to the datacenter market. It was certainly their opportunity.

True, they could do any number of things. But a datacenter play would appear quite random to investors and their core audience. Broadcom + Nvidia however...

Yes, because they already moved on to workstations powered by either Windows or Red-Hat Linux/Ubuntu.
The only ones left were people like John Siracusa that still hoped to the very last minute, that Apple would change their mind.
