IIRC even virtualised the OSX license requires that OSX ultimately run on apple hardware and nowhere else. You could use a colocated host rather than having a member of the team physically owning a mini though.

Why should anyone care what hardware a VM runs on?

Because their business is the hardware?

I'm talking about why anyone not Apple should care. It's not like I care if my VM runs on a Dell or HP server.

Because otherwise they're violating the terms of the license agreement which means at best they get no support and are 100% on the hook for anything breaking and at worst they're at risk of legal action?

Building a hackintosh in your bedroom is one thing, violating the license agreement of the tools you're using to do your job is another.

If you violate the license agreement from apple there's potential for legal repercussions, and when you are trying to make money from their distribution channel (app store) it's generally better to not violate any of their rules. Especially since they don't have to give you much of a reason when rejecting or retracting your app from their store.
