How many people running MacOS see Boot Camp as a necessity at this point?
I'm sure a lot of people here do, but this is a unique group of users.
Only place I use Windows is at work. If I need to use it from home, I remote in on my MBP. It works fine for the stuff that fits in corporate's neat little box and I ocassionaly need.
I think Boot Camp was a way to convince people running Windows they wouldn't be SOL if they bought a Mac and it didn't fit their needs. Those days are essentially gone now. If you're that entrenched in the Windows world, yo're never making MacOS your primary.
And if you ARE that entrenched in Windows, you either have a position that allows you to have multiple machines (especially at today's costs) or have little interest in a Mac.
If I was that entrenched in Windows, I would be running it on a laptop, and using my iPad Pro for personal use.
I use it for some PCVR gaming (and works well, on my iMac Pro). So it's great. But it's not a "necessity". IN the next round of Mac purchases, I would probably get a cheap gaming PC and use that. They are far cheaper price/performance. For now though, it is great to have the convenience of both in one unit.
EDIT: unfortunately these drivers don’t allow that to happen. While I had no problem doing PCVR on my 5500M 16 inch MacBook Pro, and it runs great on my iMac Pro with the Vega 64, it just crashes to a hard reboot the 5600M in Boot Camp. This is with these latest drivers too.
