Macs don't have Nvidia GPUs and tensorflow is only supported on Nvidia.

I have an MBP and an iMac, both of which came with nvidia GPU's. The MBP is older, but I doubt either of these are atypical machines out there today.
They probably are atypical systems for people using TensorFlow professionally though.
I am not sure what the current progress on OpenCL support is, but Tensorflow's configure script definitely asks whether you want to install Tensorflow with OpenCL support.
