Would someone who was seriously considering the new Mac Pro change their mind and purchase this case and DIY parts and build a Windows PC instead?  No. 

How is this hurting Apple?

Actually this thing gives you way more options at a lot less money without compromising looks of those other fugly cases out there. I think it's for those that are used to the Mac perspective. The Darwin kernel has been adapted to run on platforms that are much more exciting (32-Core AMD Threadripper) than Xeons, making this a perfect fit for people who don't want to be limited by Intel Design Choices (R).

Totally understandable since Apple is the only manufacturer to drop support for widely used APIs within 2 years without any intention of legacy support. It's quite surprising to see that calamity has not yet set in.

Its kinda sad the new iOS removes significant 3D Touch functionality from iPhone devices which have been sold with this feature advertised. I'd really love to downgrade back to iOS 12 if I had done a backup previously ^^'

Actually making students buy Apple Products is currently hurting Apple as Students would lose the image of long-lasting products, lower TCO and high flexibility they associate with the Mac Products that used to be more reliable around 2012-2015 and before. And when lightening strikes, the keyboard stops working properly or some other seemingly random issue pops up.

Test the impossible - Buy a mac without having any money to do so. It has been shown in numerous polls and studies that for students money is an issue.

The withdrawal of programs like Apple on Campus and related are quite telling.

Genius.
