No it isn't.

>The iMac was already supposed to be a Pro machine.

Not it wasn't. The iMac was always decidedly the consumer desktop. The pro machine actually had "Pro" in its name.

All "pro" means in Apple-marketing-speak is "deluxe" these days. You can clearly see it in the MBP where they have traded off features that professional users wanted, for thinness that noone in that market cares about. Make it 5mm thicker or even 10mm for 32 or 64G RAM and everyone would have been delighted.

Yep, I wanted exactly two things in the MBP on the last refresh: 32+ gigs of RAM, and an nVidia GPU.
