I’d like to think that the target market is people who want performance and a computer that is stable.
The price indicates that that is not the case
I don’t see how it does.

I know several people who were waiting to see what Apple offered for a pro desktop machine. I replied to a comment that said "I waited for Mac Pro announcement to decide whether I'll stay with Windows or jump to macOS". The whole issue is that there is a segment of the population demanding a product that Apple is, again here, not offering.
Had I been able to justify it, I could have also chosen n-core Xeon processors (some people do go this route) and I still wouldn't have been anywhere near $6000, and that's the base model here. That's obscene, and in that light I think that my original comment is relevant.
Awesome. It's great that you choose to do that. You're also not the target market for this product.
This is a product for people and companies for whom increased performance equals increased revenue.
