Don't most VFX packages now have linux renderers? At least Autodesk Maya's own documentation shows how to kick off renders on a linux CLI and most of the renderers nowadays have headless linux clients.

I guess the mac pro makes sense for animators, etc.

Is that because animation software is Mac only? Is there any hardware or software benefit unique to the Mac that they (animation software developers) rely on?

Maya , imho , the best animation software, has a native client for Linux.
