Now everyone that needs classical workstations can finally move on into Linux or Windows workloads.
Believe t-shirts at WWDC were not enough.
Thus the workstation market joins OS X Server.

For those who don't know what the t-shirt reference is, it's a creation by John Siracusa/The Accidental Tech Podcast: <https://cottonbureau.com/p/4RUVDA/shirt/mac-pro-believe-dark>.
And I still don't get it.
Siracusa—probably best known here for doing fabulous OS X reviews for Ars—is a co-host of ATP. He is also known is such circles for having Mac Pros, and using them for a long time (sometimes by choice, sometimes by circumstance). He thinks Apple should make a Mac Pro, not necessarily because it's a big seller, but because he thinks Apple should make a "best computer," much in the same way car companies might make a car that will never sell but pushes engineers, etc.
They made a shirt. It was fun.

Apple still sells a workstation-type machine: the Mac Studio.
No it isn't, it is a mini where you can add audio cards, which is basically the only extensions it has available.
Hardly workstation class.
It's certainly beefier than a Mini - 6 TB5 ports (which can drive 6 PCIe 5.0 x4 slots in an enclosure if you want), M3 Ultra, up to 256GB RAM.

It's not at all a workstation type machine. It's a Mac Mini with bigger SoCs and better cooling.
What is this, a workstation for ants?
It's a pizza box, for a 6" pizza.
