I’m okay with Apple taking the Mac Pro into super high-end pricing territory if that’s where they thing the tower workstation market is…as long as they give it the specs to match. But the base specs don’t. It seems more like Apple is basically taking the tower they would have sold profitably at $3K in the past and now they’re charging $6K for it, because they think they can.

You’re not wrong, but keep in mind you can upgrade basically all of that aftermarket (unlike virtually any other Mac now). Getting the base config may actually be the smart buy.
