What do you mean? You've always had a choice whether or not to buy an iMac Pro, so if you did need the features of an iMac Pro (incl.. 5K screen, motherboard, ecc memory, 10gbit ethernet, more cores) you could just get it. It's not like Apple is preventing you from building a PC just because they released the iMac.

Except for most (probably all) uses of an iMac pro "need" ECC memory about as much as they "need" the apple logo the back of the computer. No workstation needs ECC. At least, few enough would benefit from ECC that a comparable system shouldn't need to include it.
