I could certainly see them adding developer capabilities to the iPad Pro.

But I have a hard time understanding why they would bother trying to move developers, which to me implies removing dev capabilities from the Mac (how?) or killing the Mac line entirely (why?).

I wouldn't put it past them. They believe themselves to be market makers.

PC and laptop sales are in a free fall and the prices will trend toward zero profit. It's Apple planning to exit a dying form factor.
