That’s because they tried integration with the rest of their SW ecosystem.
If they just did motherboards with cpu/ram/pcie and let other OEMs build complete systems the story would be very different

They tried it with various open systems that allowed licensed powerpc clones of their systems and they ended it because it reduced their profits as people bought the clones instead of mac hardware. I don't see them redoing that anytime soon.
