"Apple sells their own hardware, not allowing 3rd parties get involved" This is only because Apple canot aford to sell only software. They can hardly stay sfloat as it is, selling computers and the OS. If they just sold the OS ($130) insted of the computers ($800-$52,000[i checked the site... this is as high as a system gets]) they would take a large profit cut. I agree that in the long run it would be better for them, but i'm not sure if they could stay in buisiness off the money they got from contracting the 3rd party company untill such time as it becomes a profitable venture. Just my 2 cents is all.
