I’m not so sure about professional markets only: The IBM 5150 was some of a hybrid, too, with a number of features we would identify as typical for a home computer: BASIC in ROM, a clock rate derived from the NTSC carrier frequency, cassette interface for mass storage… Also, at 4,77 MHz and an 8-bit bus it wasn’t much faster than a typical Z80 home computer (for some applications even slower, due to additional latency). 16K (basic configuration) or 64K RAM was also within home computer specs.
In order to make this a professional machine, you had still to add a number of (rather expensive) cards. And, if you did so, those built-in standard features were perfectly useless.
(Mind that this was not the PC as we know it, which came only with the 386 generation. The original PC in a corporate environment was more meant as an intelligent terminal to interface with applications, which were still running on a mainframe. Notably, limited local capabilities were apt to preserve IBM’s established corporate IT solutions. On the other hand, its success was some of a self fulfilling prophecy, since many were planning to introduce office computers, but had waited for IBM to enter the market. Even, if it may have underfulfilled expectations, it was to become the standard anyway. Accordingly, it was the proclaimed “industry standard”, even before any of the specs were known. In hindsight, the original PC was more of a transitional product – and not that disruptive as often said.)
Edit: Contrary to the popular narrative, IBM hadn’t just missed out over the emerging home computer market, but recognized this quite early on and was ready to lead, but struggled over the 1970s with various concepts and prototypes. (Some, like the IBM Aquarius prototype look rather amazing, with interesting specs, like applications distributed on bubble memory cartridges.) Apparently, at the end of the 1970s, they just had given up and there were even talks of buying Atari’s computer division with their new 8-bit lineup. As we know, this came to nothing, followed by the outsourced PC architecture. With a look at the specs of the 5150, we may guess that IBM hadn’t completely given up on the home computer idea, but then decided to market the machine to businesses only (as there was great expectation, probably also recognizing that selling this as a home computer as well wasn’t exactly going to further the marketing proposition) and to split the home segment to dedicated machines, as seen in the PCjr / Peanut.
