I think the days of the iMac having daring designs like the G3 and G4 are over, because at this point, whom would they be for?

Who were they for then? Even then, desktops were on their way out (at least in the iMac G5 and on days). If anything, Apple may sell a lot more iMacs now than they did then, just because of their scale.
And may as well do something. Although I feel like if Apple released a new Apple Thunderbolt Display for $500 it would likely kill a significant amount of iMac sales.
