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.”)
Meaningless clickbait. It’s still sold, and Apple doesn’t announce future plans, so this is directly out of someone’s ass.
To be fair, all the Apple blogs are parroting it. It's not just this one.
In a "Mac Pro" you want a Mac that is built like a PC, but Apple doesn't build Macs like that anymore.
The new Mac Pro is a Mac mini or Studio running a Pro chip (or higher). But it's not like the old Mac Pro.
You can't get a Macintosh Performa anymore, either, but you can buy an Apple Vision Pro. I wouldn't, but you can.
