>Many OSX inclined users would just flock for the cheaper Hackintosh PCs in the end
There are already more Hackintoshes out there than Mac Pros - they're often more expensive too. It's often about better not cheaper...
.......there's huge potential for buyers opting for MacOS over Windows 10 if given the choice at retail. Consumers who would never consider Mac hardware because of the price, but who already have Apple mobile devices.
Windows fatigue amongst average consumers is tangible - Apple could take a 1/3 to 1/2 of the desktop/notebook market in a year to 18 months. Even if they licensed to manufacture at $10 a unit that's a brand new $1 Billion revenue stream out of thin air - before app store revenue is factored in.
>And if the Mac business dried out then Apple would pour even less resources to OSX, and one day they'd just silently end support for it.
They can walk away from the hardware but not the operating system. Without MacOS and Xcode there would be no iOS/tvOS/watchOS apps - even those developers who eschew Xcode are instead using tools developed with it.
