• Because Apple is a Hardware Company
  Making OSX available for non-Apple hardware makes no sense for Apple who is primarily a hardware company who's focus is on user experience. The job of OSX is to make the Mac experience the better than that on other hardware. The hope is that will drive more sales of Macs vs other hardware.
  
  People are always comparing Apple to Microsoft and it really is an Apples to Oranges (pardon the pun) comparison. Apple's primary goal is to sell hardware while Microsoft's primary goal is to sell OS software to hardware manufacturers. Microsoft wants to be the common interface that all systems developers choose to build their GUI around. Apple wants to be the premium interface that drives the "experience connoisseurs" to buy their hardware. They are totally different goals.
