Is it just me or did apple just bungle this entire announcement by not announcing a consumer facing ARM MacOS device, only a hot-rodded Mac Mini with an iPad Pro chip inside.

How many devs actually have the setup in place to use a non mobile device?

I also wonder if the current+last gen iPad Pro that has the new keyboard + trackpad case will gain the ability to run Xcode and native macOS apps in the near future.

What? It's exactly the same thing they did last time, except the dev kit was in a Power Mac G5 case.
They do their hardware releases in the other conferences at predictable times of the year
