That's fine. When time will come to change computer (if he has the money) he'll buy a real Mac.

Hackintosh is a very good propaganda for Apple. It let passionate and technical people to "try" OS-X, and once they try it they can't go back. Because OS X is FUN to use! With other OSes you have to fight against them.

And since those are the people relatives and friends call when they need a new computer... it will be natural for them to suggest to buy a REAL Mac (hackitoshes are too complex to install and maintain by 'normal' people).
