Sorry to hear about your problems, but it was inevitable.
Back in 1997 I commented on the AOL Apple Forum that Apple should dump the creative community in favor of the larger consumer market. At the time the creative market represented about 1.5% of total computer usage. Mac market share was 2%, but only in the US. Everywhere else it was non-existent.
Not that I had anything to do with it (I didn't) Apple did just that, and today its the world's largest, most profitable tech company. Beyond computers, Apple manufactures iPhones, iPads, Beats headsets, Ear Buds and Air Buds, Apple Watches, and Apple TV. Apple also offers on demand movies, TV and music, not to mention books and news.
Twenty years ago you couldn't open a Mac catalog without be deluged by creative programs and accessories Adobe was a big deal, today not so much. Most people recognize Adobe as the developer of a crap media player
I want to thank you very much for supporting Apple back in the day. I did too, with a 27 person electronics and software development (Linux) firm. It was hard back then because field support was virtually non-existent (unless you did graphics).
Frankly, the creative industry's need for specialized softwares and extremely powerful computers makes me wonder if you and Apple haven't come to a fork in the road, where each goes their own way.
I wish you the very best.
