There were unavoidable technical reasons for that. The new cards use PCI-Express 2.0, which wasn't included on the older Mac Pros.
I think this is an impressive machine, but it highlights even more the immense gap between some of Apple's consumer lines and their high-end lines. I would not be surprised at all if Apple starts introducing something to fill that gap, they've pretty much had two tiers of hardware for a decade now, and I really think a lot of users fall into the in-between category, especially gamers, IT professionals, photographers and film-makers.
