> macOS only runs on very expensive hardware and doesn't run most programs people need (because the business world is still Windows oriented)

What programs won't run on macOS that "normal people" are going to need? In my experience most "normal people" use a web browser, the Office suite, and maybe some Adobe programs.

mnholt··on Apple Captures 75% of Global Handset Market Operating Profit in Q2 2021
If it was that easy they would have already done it. You are drastically oversimplifying the market, network and ecosystem effects. The market has shown that it will gobble up $1000 phones, why sell one at $300? Apple has built a network that encourages people to stay in it (iMessage for example). They have also built an ecosystem of products that harmonize well. The market seems to enjoy this.
