As an IT guy, if I worked with Macs this would be terrible to work with

You know, now that you say it, I'd bet that's exactly why they did it. They probably want to fuck over companies that would otherwise have racks of Mac Minis (for clusters, colocated servers, etc.) and force them into Mac Studios or Mac Pros instead.

Nah, if you are racking computers, and they don't have built in lights out management, you open them up and connect remote triggers to the power button leads, allowing you to remotely start them if they get shut off. I'm sure lots of companies do have Mac farms for Mac and iOS development, but I doubt Apple give a crap one way or another about them.
