All good responses, if I had to add one gripe about Apple's direction (re: 32-bit kill off), I'd add the Metal Only drivers post-High Sierra. I bought my MacBook Pro specifically for eGPU and my preferred GPUs are from Nvidia (using a GTX 1080). There was some degree of finagling to get it to work, but it could be done.

And then the update after High Sierra happened and killed it outright. And as much as I'd rather boot into macOS for non-gaming items, because my monitor hooks into the eGPU, I boot into Windows for anything asides Xcode which is pretty heavy. Could stick to High Sierra, but that isn't exactly an option.

It truly is a shame that we couldn't just be allowed to change a flag or confirm a prompt to maintain business as usual. As such, this may be my last Apple branded PC and will just use it as a build machine in the future whenever I inevitably upgrade.

Maybe Nvidia and Apple will work together on metal drivers, but quite frankly, it is the edgiest of edge cases so I imagine the chances of that are minuscule. That isn't to say I don't somewhat understand their reasoning: they basically appear to be scaling back numbers of areas they can't safeguard or require support (non-metal drivers and 32-bit respectively). But at that point it seems like provide something that users can do to bypass it.
