Apple is a vertical company. They don’t WANT to sell you hardware. They don’t want to sell you software.
They only want to sell the whole package. You might as well ask the Catholic Church to start a rap music 8-track only record club. Same probability.
The hardware is a means to an end, and nothing else to them.
But Apple could make a lot of money selling Linux servers with their CPUs.
Why would they want to? They make even more money selling their own computers with their CPUs.
The Server market is enormous with a much higher average selling price. It would make perfect sense for Apple to make servers if it meant more revenue and profit than they could make not doing it. There are rumors that Apple is planning a M8 based server in 2029.

If they sell every CPU they can make there’s not much headroom to make more

I dunno, the current Pope is kind of cool. Never say never.
Assuming that Jude Law and John Malkovich don't get there first, of course.
