Given Apple's current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it's for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

I suspect the majority (not all!) of potential Mac Pro users want it for the form factor. Not because of specific requirements in performance or hardware, but because it looks professional.

A Mac Mini or Mac Studio could handle everything they can throw at it, but for some people, they look like toys. (Cue to the “THIS is a computer!” scene of “Iron Sky.”)
