Apple was the only one stopping themselves from getting back in. It's not like the Mac is a trillion-dollar market segment to begin with.

Almost everyone including myself had MacBook Pros at my last place of work.

If Apple was in the high-end server market, I see no reason why the company I was working for would not be running macOS on Apple hardware as servers, instead of the fleet of Linux based servers they had.

		Why wait? You can go run macOS as a server right now. It will take you a few hours to get Docker working, and disable mdworker_shared() and turn off SIP, and then install a package manager/XCode utilities, and finally configure macOS to run as a headless UNIX box, but it's attainable. Despite how easy Apple makes it, nobody is really using Macs as a server in production. Apple[0] is not using them as a server in production. They would need a radically different strategy to replace Linux, because their efforts on macOS still haven't replaced Windows. [0] https://9to5mac.com/2026/03/02/some-apple-ai-servers-are-rep...
