Apple does not properly test those machines because they're a tiny tiny portion of the machines out there. I've seen more complaints about OS X updates breaking things on the "flagship" Mac Pro than any other model Mac in the past few years. Final Cut Pro is a shadow of its former self (most places have abandoned Macs for film work as a result), Aperture has been totally abandoned, Xserve is DEAD and while Logic Pro is Apple's one shining star left, I gather El Capitan abandoned updating the Firewire Core Audio drivers so many older interfaces may simply stop working at some point (a lot of things did, especially in the 10.11.0 release). But now the iPhone is the "halo" product and the Mac Pro is an after-thought. They used to treat it as a halo product along with their professional software that gave them bragging rights and people would go "ooh and ah" about movies and music being made on Macs and want one, even if they couldn't afford a rig that was powerful enough to do those things easily. And I really like OS X.a lot and I've always hated Microsoft, but the sad fact is that Apple doesn't give a crap about the Mac compared to cell phones and the Mac Pro is a small part of the Mac line.
