The Raspberry Pi comes in a smaller form factor than any Mac, yet it has
been spectacularly successful among home DIYers, makers and other such
tinkerers. “Small” does not mean “lacking in versatility”.
It’s not the smallness of the form factor: it’s the fact that Apple’s
full-on integrated design leaves no room for upgradeability any more. All
their Mac machines, even the desktops, are just glorified laptops now.
They have abandoned the workstation market (cf the old Mac Pro), just like
they abandoned the server market long ago.
The Mac Pro is still sold, as well as the Mac Studio.
