After all they COULD mitigate hw sales cannibalization by providing slower updates for the generic OSX version. e.g. not release the latest version until 6m or so after it was shipping with Apple hw/store for macs.
They could also limit support provided for use on non-Apple hw, although I'm not at all certain how the legalities of that would play out, but in the case of something like Psystar or other "clone" sellers they could likely legitimately provide zero support leaving it up to the "clone" seller to support.

they'd sell the OS for use on any x86 hw.
