I'm not too worried.
Macs are popular within the scientific community because it provides a UNIX environment, including X11. The moment it's dropped it will lose its appeal.
Sure, the scientific community does not dominate the market for consumer-based hardware, but it does provide a solid and reliable customer base on which to build.

Apple's Xserve rack mount started strong but the updates became less frequent over time and the model was killed a year or so ago.

The same thing seems to be happening to the Mac Pro line which hasn't been updated in 16 months, a record.

And so Apple's attitude towards the scientific community and the pro workstation community has become apparent.
