Wrong!
What do you think? Has Apple manufactured an Intel Processor which runs the OS X? Has Apple manufactured NVIDIA or ATI graphics cards which run videos on OS X? Apple only specifies what it needs from these suppliers which are suppliers for all other hardware vendors/providers too. The only thing Apple does is to give a good look for their Macs. Talking of performance, it is the third party hardware (or supplier hardware) which is taking care and not the Apple itself!
This is only a Business Game! Only thing Apple wants is a Monopoly! It wants all the Profit which it can have from putting unrealistic prices for the same hardware which otherwise is cheaper in the market. That's why it has added this term in their EULA for Software (why in software?), "Apple branded hardware", which but off-course is same hardware which Clone makers can provide for less cost.
So once you purchase a software copy you are able to run it on any Hardware which is capable (and compatible) to run it and that is what Mac-clones are doing. Apple has no any right to stop them providing PCs with MAC OSx pre installed.
