Google Building custom ROM images for popular phones is a relatively common thing on the internet. There are a number of forums dedicated to hacking and creating custom Windows Mobile ROMs, and there's also a community of people working on custom Android ROMs. The latter community has been up in arms over the fact that Google has sent a cease and desist letter to one of the most popular ROM hackers.

Except that Apple has yet to sue any individual hackintosher or jailbreaker. They've only sued those who have chosen to make a profit from their work. Like the article points out most companies could care less about these hacks, they only care whe it starts affecting them monetarily. Google on the other hand has actively persued someone who was freely distributing his hack to a select few.
