If that has zero to do with it, then maybe it’s just a pretty, quirky and unusual color lots of people are digging?
Given that the iMac is now quite close to an iPad Air but as a desktop, that both have their screens and logic boards in an aluminum housing, and that the iPad Air went with quite different colors, I think it was a rather deliberate choice to have colors that stand out rather than a technical limitation.

Maybe next year's iMac will see more muted colors like the iPad Air? Maybe that'll be for the iMac Pro Max™?

Why not more colors? Logistics, I would guess. They've already had to limit it such that retail stores don't even stock most colors.
