Obviously, the idea was ultimately rejected. Apple was earning
startlingly high profit margins on Mac hardware at the time, and they
didn’t want to share.
That's it right there. Apple wanted to make a lot of profit. PCs have
always, and still are cheaper. That kept people having to buy a PC, of

a prestigious product.
