But OS X can legally only run on Apple (tm$$$) systems, where Linux can run on *anything* and anybody's inexpensive hardware.

Apple hardware is fairly priced when compared on quality. Yes, there are cheap POS PCs that compare favorably on features with Apple hardware at a lower cost. I've used many such. They often break more readily, or fail to satisfy on some other level. There's more to a PC than spec list.

Apple runs commodity hardware that is essentially identical to everyone else's - just priced 3X more.

Hardware quality **IS NOT** the difference between a Mac and everyone else.
