Here’s four more:

1. Fans in the Macintosh (They make NOISE)
2. File format compatibility with other platforms
3. Support for a second mouse button in the MacOS (only one button makes it impossible to hit the wrong one)
4. Building a Mac that can run non Apple OSes

#4 was probably decided under Jobs.
Some of Intel’s top designers went to Apple back in early 2000’s to help them with OS tweaks so dual boot MacOS would be an easy task.
I know one of the guys.
