Mac OS X for any machine?

Why must everyone feel compelled to define Apple's OS X
as a closed OS. Open it to everyone, cross platform. Run it
on the Ti99/4a. Snow Leopard for Playstation!!! SUPER
DEAL!!! Buy 3 eggroll, get free copy of OS X for any
platform --Today only!!!
There's more to Apple than profitability, though they seem
to have that figured out even without the help of the RDF.
If the sins afflicting other so-called "open" systems are to
be controlled (read "kept out"), every other aspect of the
system must be controlled as well. Garbage in, landfill out.
From my perspective, what most mac users seem to like
most is a system that works. The need for cramming $500
worth of $5 bargain programs into your computer is less
novel to someone who has a computer that works. That
was a lot to say to make this one point...
What would a typical PC user (read, Windows Fanboy) be
willing to pay for OSX on their X86 platform? Apple's
formula seems to have Edmonds constantly running their
copy machines.
