Apple also refuses to sign the kernel extension necessary for NVidia GPU drivers to run. NVidia had made a GPU driver for High Sierra, but literally a version later Apple locked down the kernel so that only signed drivers could be loaded. Anyone who was using Nvidia GPUs through, say, an external GPU box got screwed.

I had really hoped that the external GPU thing would takeoff, and give us a good option for gaming on Macs. I bought the dev kit, and it was nothing but a headache, which stopped working at High Sierra too, because they stopped supporting TB2. I'm bitter about it. It really seems like we ought to be "there" by now, but it's starting to look like it will just never be a thing.
