There is no need for speculation here because we already know how Apple is treating Mac Pro owners. I have two of these machines (3.1), they are wonderful powerhorses with two Xeons and 64 GB of RAM, but for Apple they're not worth being supported. I need to use a popular hack in order to install a newer OS and get updates.

To the downvoters: as another person pointed out, the latest version of Windows would work perfectly on these machines - if I choose to install it, that is. But I prefer macOS and the apps I had bought. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't care.
