It's really interesting, because I'd estimate there are 10x more programmers than "video professionals". I could be extremely wrong though.

Yes, but not so many that choose Apple, as their platform. Of those that do, they like laptops (like me). They are the target for the MacBook Pros.
Creatives, on the other hand, probably have a 50% or more Apple platform user base, and also like fixed workstations.
I used to run a dev shop for a photographic equipment manufacturer, and the Apple platform (even relying on the users having beefy workstations), was quite important.
We're not really their target audience. Back when they had a rack server, they had something that looked good to us, but we're not really the ones that will buy a maxxed-out Studio.
It's an interesting machine. It definitely is aimed at folks that would get Pros, beforehand. With the hint dropped at the end of the Studio presentation, I suspect that they may announce some crazy Pro, in the coming months.
