Exactly. On top of that, Apple is still in the minority and refuses to support the Vulkan API they helped design. So, from a development standpoint, rewriting your software to support ~15% of your potential market isn't a very lucrative idea. Especially when the vast majority of those users will be running relatively incapable hardware, at least on the GPU side of things.

Well, this is already an improvement, the way the parent stated it: from "no Mac line with a decent gpu" to "only the $6000 version".
