Then why doesn't it have a professional CAD application?

Even Apple doesn't do CAD on OSX. They run Siemens NX on Windows.

But your statement isn't quite right. Fusion 360 runs fine in mac. I'm ex-Apple btw.

Ok, that's good to know, but my colleagues all use SolidWorks so it doesn't change much for me.

It does.

AutoCAD came to the Mac when Intel was shitting the bed (with aggressive OEM contracts for first party system integrators that prevented AMD adoption across HP/Dell/Lenovo-lines) and Windows 11 was being forced on users.

WINTEL played the monopoly game too hard and is starting to lose ground.

You love to see it.
