It was only like that for a year, the next year you could buy a Dell with a better GPU. Then Apple ignored USB 3.0 for 2-1/2 years and didn't release a "Pro" desktop with Thundercrap for almost 3 years. Also the reminder that Thundercrap didn't work when they shipped the first laptop with it. It took almost 4 months to release the OS update that enabled it. This contributed to delay of Thundercrap peripherals and high prices.
