I think I was thinking more like how Apple doesnt want Hackintoshes (Mac running on PC?) as opposed to this up-to-date characterization you are running off of

You lost me again. Hackintoshes exist, and the only way apple has to stop them is the legal code around software licensing.

How is that relevant?

Apple can legally stop you from running OSx without a license, because you don't have a license, but they cannot stop you from running whatever you want on your hardware.

Apple can't attach a license to hardware, limiting what you are allowed to do with it. That would be stupid.
