I couldn't care less what Apple do or don't do, or how good or bad their products are. I will never buy one, ever. But having choices is a good thing, and if others do buy their products then I respect their choice.

What that means is you can forget any hope of an M4 / M5 Ultra for years.
In the good old days the Apple pro models were premium workstations for heavy workloads, Power Mac G5 for example:

Who uses nowadays Apple for serious 3D workloads? Or even machine learning and neural networks via GPUs?

I admit, for Photoshop, Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro the devices might be tailored, or alike.
