You would see plenty of Windows computers running Mac/OS on a dual boot. But Apple doesn't permit this

If OS X were written to make it as runnable on a generic PC as Windows is, it would have to become as big and bloated as Windows. Even if that were done, it would still be compatible to the same chorus of hardware compatibility whines as any Windows installation.

If you really want the heart of the OS X experience on a generic PC, run Free BSD on it. Yes, that's "free, as in beer."

Not true
Apple could release 10 slam dunk easy configurations each year. That others could emulate. Others being companies such as Dell, smaller companies and computer enthusiasts

Apple could easily cover these configurations. They already do it for their own desktops
