It's fairly standard for rendering/games engines to support native graphics apis, they're built to be cross platform.

Not to mention machine learning is a totally different market, using OS X on workstations would be counterproductive as there isn't any feasible server solutions to run production data on.

Also the Tegra chips aren't irrelevant, they're powering the switch and extremely popular for drone/robotics application processors.

This entire article is biased beyond belief.

The Mac Pro will come in a rackable server chassis version. That's a detail from the announcement a lot of people missed. Presumably Apple intends for the new hardware to be deployable Xserve style, not just workstations.
