I'm guessing that may have something to do with them intentionally crippling their software to ensure it only runs on their own hardware, and the extremely bloated markup on their hardware stops them from achiving any large volume of sales on that either. If Apple made their Operating System accessable to all x86(_64) users their software sales would easily increase well beyond the sales of their hardware. They don't think they have to compete with anyone else on the market, that's why someone cited them as being meglomanical earlier.
