This is absolute crap. Apple cares about their pro users, they just want them using products that are much more accessible and easier to use. We just transitioned to iPad Pros in our recruiting office and some of our developers are recommending that we just push everything into Google Cloud and using the iPad to do development on.
This argument is like saying that Tesla doesn't care about petrolhead and horse carriage enthusiasts. The only people that I know who care about Mac hardware are the same people who waste powerful machines on web browsing and like to boast about how fast their computer is. Just toxic.
