I'm really surprised Apple even announced that price. People have been waiting for an expandable Mac Pro since what... 2004? They finally make one and all anybody can focus on is the stand price. Feels like Apple should have probably seen that coming. That being said, I'd be surprised if it wasn't flagged by several people but overruled by a higher up somewhere.

There's another factor I suppose. Apple notoriously does not give a single warm damn about people outside their target demographic. This product is meant for those doing projects worth 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars. A $1000 stand – while oddly pricey – doesn't matter quite as much when it's coming off a grant or massive expense account.
