Well yeah, what stops me from buying the new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR is also the price tag. Same goes for a private jet.

You're either in the machine's target market or you're not. An iMac Pro costs $6299. in Canada. If that came with a screen that rotates and I knew I could fully utilize the system's RAM capabilities eventually, I would lease it for my small business.

I believe there are a lot of us in the 'traditional Pro' market who run Adobe CC and Final Cut and a bunch of other software that could use a bump from a regular iMac to a beefier model. It is hard for me to envision a scenario buying an iMac Pro for anything but business/scientific use. The classic iMac is such a great machine for consumers and education.

But I think if you use it to generate income, the iMac Pro, with a few tweaks and maybe a small price decrease, could be a really 'business-friendly' Mac.
At least for smaller-scale 'media creation' businesses, not to run spreadsheets.
