Apple licensed it's MacOS back in the mid-90s to third-party hardware manufacturers. If it was forced to by the government, I imagine it could do so again.

It wasn’t forced to by the government. The CEO at the time thought it was a good idea.

Yes, we know. Please read my comment, it doesn't claim or imply Apple was under any government pressure back then.
