Apple may consider OS X on Intel to be a bargaining chip to ensure Microsoft continues making Office for MacOS. If Microsoft discontinues Office for MacOS, Apple could launch OS X for *all* Intel-based machines.
Nothing would kill mass-market (and potential business) acceptance of the Mac faster than losing native Office compatibility, but Microsoft would rather invest a relatively small amount in keeping Mac Office available than to see a another viable OS competitor on its platform.
You can never justify the cost of building a bridge by counting the number of people swimming across the river.
