Ok 2 points. You say "all the pros know Apple is no longer interested in that business" Who are these pros? there are thousands of them over the world and Im pretty sure not all would have that sentiment. Why would they have bailed out Camel Audio and integrated Alchemy into Logic if not interested?
Apple have always been small compared to the PC Windows market. Studios and home producers took to their products for what ever reason. PCs became much much cheaper, software was readily available pirated. As time has gone on, for the young producer on a budget looking to get into production the most likely thing would be to use the parents PC running a load of cracked plugins. Whats more readily available? FL and Live. So what happens when they have enough money to buy their own computer? They get FL and Live or possibly Cubase. So automatically numbers of other Daws will be higher. Those are the numbers there. Its just how the eco system works. if they happen to have a lot of extra money they will buy a Mac with maybe a thought of buying Live but then see the price of Logic and buy that.
The "Pros" to my knowledge have almost always relied on Pro Tools, that was the standard and still is to my knowledge.
You are totally right here, and tbh honest I was surprised by Alchemy's acquisition, but about the audio apple team reduced to the minimum terms you can found various articles online, about the dropping of the pro market by apple is pretty obvious : losing final cut users, loding logic users, new apple's laptop not suited for djing, new apple pro not suited for pro audio.. in fact most studios running pro tools are sticking as long as possible with their old grey mac pro or getting an hackintosh.
And it is totally understandable they make big money with iphones and ipads not with logic, for all other daws producer is totally different.
