Their computers are just over priced and always late to the game. A underpowered $6000 MacPro, and 2 year old iMac Pro and a 10 year old design iMac with outdated peripherals. 

It's been 21 years since the iMac was first available for purchase, it's been at least 30 years of hearing comments like this. Apple is not going to license macOS for use outside of their own hardware. They tried that for a bit and have said it would never happen again. The main iMac design hasn't really been changed since 2004 but how are you going to change an all-in-one design with the logic board behind the display? You might as well say that all desktop tower designs have remained the same since the late 80's. Can't they come up with anything new?

The most important way that the iMac design can be changed (and I would be an immediate buyer upon such change happening) is to make it easy to open for cleaning and upgrades. This could be simply accomplished by putting a discreet hinge along the bottom edge of the display, and corresponding pentalobe screws on the back side, along the top edge of the display. Some other internal changes would be needed such as protecting the power supply so it wouldn't be deadly. Apple has the design and engineering chops to handle this beautifully. The iMac would then have massive bragging rights over the nearly impossible to open and quite underpowered Surface Studio 2. (I wouldn't consider a Surface Studio anyway because: Windows 10.)
