The trashcan wasn't oriented towards developers of any kind. In 2013, developers had no need for the dual AMD GPUs that you were forced to buy. It was oriented to people using Final Cut Pro (a pretty small market)
The new Mac Pro's modular feature ties you completely to Apple for GPU improvements, I did not verify if it also ties you to them for CPU upgrades. Simply put, they designed a system by which you are stuck with them that added cost but no value.
I am hoping that with Ive gone that we leave the pretentious era of Apple behind, the era that resulted in the trashcan, designer bands for a watch let alone a gold 10k watch, and even to the point of their new headquarters.
