It's one reason I gave up having a MacBook Pro, the hardware is underwhelming in so many ways.

But my Mac Pro from 2010 still gets nvidia driver updates and cuda support. In the unlikely event someone will pay for a new Mac Pro for me I'll be able to stick a 2080 in it.

You can stick an nvidia card in a PCI-e chassis and it will work on a laptop or Mac mini, but yes it isn't optimal.

"isn't optimal" is an understatement. It's downright wonky!

I've had good experiences with Magma PCIe expanders, for linux and macis, though they are firmly in the enterprise space. https://www.onestopsystems.com/pcie-expansion

Ah, the joys of finding quirks in PCIe enumeration when you have PCIe switches and expansion bridges.
