To me, Catalina looks like a transition to a complete purging of everything Nvidia related that is still left in macOS. It will all be gone once we get 10.16 in 2020. After that, it's likely that Apple will say goodbye to Intel Macs. No idea what year that will happen. Hopefully not until later in the 2020s. I don't think they are in any hurry to switch to their own ARM chips in Macs. Their focus is mostly on phones and tablets right now. They've lowered the iPhone 11 price to get the laggards to upgrade. A lot of people still use iPhone 6S and 7. Even the iPads are reasonably priced. They don't sell a lot of Macs relative to HP and Lenovo's PC sales, but their average Mac sale price is $1300. About 3x higher than the average PC sale price. So if Catalina ships later this year, sometime in October it's no "big deal" to Apple and why they didn't mention it on Tuesday. Tim Cook's strategy to make Apple the 800 pound gorilla of the corporate world has worked. Their market cap is now over 1 Trillion dollars. Sure wish I would have bought more stock in this electronic fruit company.I still use some OpenGL and 32 Bit Apps daily so for me Catalina would be a step backwards, also I really don't need any of the new features which are mostly gimmicks IMO.
