I think it all boils down to a market that Apple has no desire to service. For the 'average' consumer that buys their machine and never opens it until it dies or out-lives its use, an iMac or MacBook is all they need. The professional market is fine with paying a premium for a real Mac-Pro since any time spent messing with compatibility issues or broken software updates would quickly cost them more than the 'apple tax' on a real Mac-Pro. It is the (comparatively) small advanced/semi-pro user that needs more than a MacBook or iMac provides that the current lineup ignores. That leaves two options: spend more on a real MacPro for less machine with fewer expansion options, or go the hackintosh route.
