If, and it's a big if, Apple wanted to build "Darwin in the cloud", they could make the Big Three into the Big Four pretty quick.
Those enormous piles of cash could build out a world-class service that would be attractive both to developers servicing iOS applications, and just to developers, period, a lot of whom use Macs.
That would indirectly take a chunk out of Intel's server dominance, and might get the other players thinking about whether Intel is the best platform for them to stick with as well.
