Wow, you just rocked my world saying it’s been almost a decade since she retired. If you had asked me yesterday I would have said 2 or 3 years tops. Crazy how fast time has gone by. Sad she died young. She was around the same age as Steve. 

Yes - time flies and I'm getting old

 I have to wonder if Apple will stop producing larger iMacs, pushing customers to the Mac Studio or Mac mini with a detached display. 

I'd be shocked if it comes back now that we have the Studio display.   And it appears Samsung and Dell have both introduced 5k (maybe one is a 6k?) at CES so there are two alternatives to the LG.  With larger screens at high resolution, having the monitor separate from the computer just makes a heck of a lot more sense.

Target display mode like MagSafe will be back it’s just too useful to sit on the sidelines.

But will the large screen iMac be back?  Seems doubtful.

I believe this to be deliberate. If Target Displays Mode still existed

Target display mode went away with 5K and Apple's custom graphics controller to bring 5K to market well ahead of the rest of industry supporting it.  Yup, target display mode would be nice - but we now have the best solution - separating the computer from a large display with the Studio display.  The larger iMacs were always extremely wasteful, even with target display mode (have to have a whole computer running just to use it as a monitor?!?) and I'm glad to see Apple backing away from them.
