Where do you think the 'switch' is in that? At what point do they switch something from what was previously offered to something not expected? I don't think there is any switch. The specs are presented as up-front as any hardware spec is.

The switch is that you're some way through the "funnel" before you discover that to get a decent spec machine you need to spend a lot of money. It's the "power of commitment" sales trick.

I don't agree - it says how much storage each version comes with up front in large font on the marketing page https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/. It even lists the 256GB SSD option first, as the default option.
