I don't now where you lived the past 20 years but theses are maybe the most classical arguments against mac in business.

Mac have never been "for Pro" if you go that way. So I guess it confirm that it's not the company that shifted it's focus, but maybe there is more potentials customers expectation of Apple going more "pro".

Yes, Apple has never targeted businesses, but they did target individuals professionnals at some point. Video and sound editors used to work on Macs, and now move to windows. It's a classic, but is it wrong?

I knew about that (and Google's Macs).

But for standards businesses with relatively technologically inept people, when you need an Active Directory, you just need it.
