Would the display Pro stand carry an iMac Pro?

Just wondering: would the pro stand be able to handle an iMac Pro? (with a vesa plate)
the standard imac pro stand is not that ideal, never thought it was and by using a (i know its a grand) pro stand would be nice to have...

The Pro stand doesn’t provide a VESA mount.

It is available with a VESA mount

The Pro Display XDR has a VESA mount adapter, but you can't attach that adapter to the Pro Stand. The Pro Stand just has a magnetic connector that connects directly to the Pro Display XDR. The VESA mount adapter does not have a magnetic connector on the back to attach to the Pro Stand.

The Pro Stand and Pro Display VESA adapter cannot be connected in any way.

Ah, now I see; I assumed the VESA adapter could be used on third party screens. But it is solely to VESA-mount the Pro display.
I would love to see Apple coming up with a Pro stand to use with an iMac!
even when it would cost €1000

Absolutely doable by taking a jigsaw to the Pro Display XDR.

Just hack out the rear of the display and drill four VESA mounting holes. Discard the 6K panel. Viola!

Also, there would be an ugly colour mismatch between iMac Pro (space grey) and stand (silver).

True, still: I would prefer a height adjustable and swivable stand opposed to the current iMac stand...

Lots of other options for well under the $1000 Apple charges for the XDR stand.

It would be super cool if some company came out with a vesa kit for the pro stand that had magnets similar to the display. Connect any <= 32” monitor to the stand.

I don't think there's a market. Who would buy a stand that costs about as much or even more than most displays?
