Given Apple's current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it's for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

As I pointed out, PCs are still modular for now, and yeah, except for in Windows in which the Pro SKU technically still has enhanced capabilities over the Home SKU, specifically Group Policy is a thing albeit in cut-down form vs. the Enterprise/IoT SKUs on Pro while on Home, the only under-the-hood tweaks you can do are in the registry via regedit, the word, 'Pro' has lost most of its meaning.

Even for at least AMD GPUs, you've been able to use the Pro drivers on consumer hardware and vice-versa since Vega at the earliest if not earlier than that.
