I'm assuming you made it to the conclusion "Allaying Concerns"? Seems like short-term it may not be an issue, but it may be an issue long-term.

More evidence that the Mac as a personal computer is probably going away, sooner or later.  If I were a betting man, I think the chance of any significant new Mac Pros or development of Apple workstations is getting near zero.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
