I feel you, but iMacs are certainly more than a laptop integrated into a monitor (and a 5k monitor at that!).

No, they are exactly a laptop integrated into the monitor. Can I add a video card, or full size RAM, or internal disks?

You can't do video cards or an internal disk on the Mac Pro so not sure this argument makes sense

Yes I can, my 2008/09 MacPro has had just about every part besides the motherboard upgrading since, and it's still running strong. That's my point about the new "trashcan" ones, and no new MacPro TOWERS replacing them.

No, but the iMac is significantly more powerful than a laptop. I cede you the video card, but there isn't a real advantage to full size RAM or internal drives.
