It is not a technical problem, but a legal one. It is that they do not want to expose themselves by violating agreements with Apple.

Do you want to be the genius that saved a few dollars on hardware with a Hackintosh only to get the company sued?

Exactly. If you don't care about Apple ToS, you can cross-compile on GNU/Linux just fine without ever touching macOS.

I hadn’t considered this at all mainly because I haven’t heard of apple taking legal actions against people promoting hackintosh related things and methods. Though I guess it could become a problem for a company.

It's only because most hackintoshers don't make money by selling them.

It also takes a lot of time to setup so hackintoshing will never gain mainstream numbers.
