The Cheese grater is the Mac Pro 2019 version (I think it's 2019). I remember it being talked about for its out there design and high launch price of 6000 dollar with a fully specced out version going for 10 times that.

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?

I guess you mean a 64 core threadripper and like 2x 2080ti's? What on the living hell would cost them $6000? And I dont even want to know what could cost them 10x more.

While Apple's overpriced, what you're describing is consumer-grade hardware. Once you move on to Xeon/Epic, ECC RAM, Quadro/Radeon pro territory (and don't get me started on networking) the price quadruples. In this world, stability is more important than performance as downtime = loss. Not to mention the enterprise-level support. I worked in a few manufacturing companies, where the cost of downtime was around $50,000 per hour. If Apple's sales pitch is "this configuration is stable AF", they will find customers for their products.
