> Apple does not license MacOS for use on hardware they don't sell. It can be argued this feature does not have any legitimate functionality.

They don’t appear to give a ahit about hobby use. If you are running macOS commercial on non Apple hardware they will figuratively murder you.

And you’re allowed to run macOS VMs on top of macOS hosts, so the functionally is sound in that context
