Unfortunately Apple is completely unpredictable in what hardware they are going to sell.
They have stopped selling the Mac pro in Europe, using some new EU-regulation as a pretext (everyone else manages to comply with it). Now imagine you are running a small business with Apple infrastructure and all of a sudden you can't add/replace a workstation.

The Macbook pro 17" was fairly popular as well and Apple ditched it.

Sorry, I am not going to invest money into software that will run only on computers produced by such a fickle hardware manufacturer.
