Apple doesn't need to, they rely on hardware restrictions to try and stop people from using their software on non-Mac systems, so, in many ways, their method is worse than Microsoft, who doesn't care what you install your Windows on (you could install it on a toaster or a homegrown hand-wrapped system you made yourself from the ground up), as long as your license is in order
Taking it one step further, Linux/Unix derivatives obviously hold the top spot in this argument, nearly none of them have license validations and could care less what you run it on.
I think Apple's modern fascist hardware control of their OS is bull {(which is why I generally stick to System 7.0.1 or lower when it comes to using Apple operating systems [although I do own versions of System 7 Pro & System 7.1.2 to use on certain systems that are special to me]) although I understand why they do it, they're a hardware company after all, the OS is just the carrot on the stick they hit people with}.
