It’s kind of funny, because if you really think about Apple is actually the monopoly.

Not according to the courts. Psystar's attempt to defend itself by attacking Apple as a monopoly in "Mac OS X compatible computers" was thrown out of court on its ear. Apple is a monopolist only in the same way that Honda is a monopolist in reference to Honda automobiles. Economically and legally one cannot be a "monopolist" for its own copyrighted or patented products. One can only be a monopolist in reference to a "market."
