Apple doesn't even make rack-mount server hardware. It's not that surprising.

Apple makes very capable, efficient devices for end users and content producers. End users do not normally need to train new models.

They do make rack mount hardware:

Don't know if that qualifies as server :).

They used to sell the best developer’s machines. Before Docker, at least. Don’t developers need to train models? And if they are doing so on Linux or Windows, wouldn’t that make it easier for them to better or exclusively support the end product on the one they’re more used to?

You want to be the platform where the excitement is happening.
