If I already have a decent PC, is it worth it to get a Mac Pro?

Right now I'm using a PC I built myself, and these are the basic specs;
CPU:Ryzen Threadripper 1950X
GPU:nVidia Quadro P5000
RAM: 64 Gb of 3600MHz G. SkillTrident Z
Monitor: 43" LG 4K
With already having this setup, do you think it's still worth it to invest in a Mac Pro to be able to run Mac only software. Thank you in advance.
Here’s a picture of my setup;

Are there things you want or need to do that you can't?
Are there mac only programs that would do anything better?
I don't know, I've never had a Mac. Also, I don't know what a Mac can do that a PC can't, which is basically the point of the post. I'd be interested in hearing from others who own both platforms, whether or not, in their opinion, if it's worth the cost to have both at your disposal. I'm happy with what I've got, and can't complain.
 
Not unless you find that the Windows-based applications are not sufficient.
Thank you for the reply, I'm very pleased with what I have, and the point of building my own PC was so that I could hand choose all my components. However, my work is pretty much maxing it out, and I'm interest in what a program like Final Cut can do compaired to something like Premiere Pro, which I really like. Adobe After Effects is also a great post pro piece of software, however, it will eat as much RAM as you can throw at it, and my final files are HUGE. I don't know the potential of a Mac Pro for video editing and processing, so I'm asking.
