Apple dominates the "Tower Computer that legally runs OS X" market.

That's not a market anymore than "RSS software that runs Google Reader" is a market.

Sure it is. If I want a desktop that runs OS X, what do I do? I buy one. Sure, it's a monopoly, but it's a product with a unique characteristic that people are willing to pay money for. Unfortunately, if Apple decides to drop the Mac Pro, it'll be a market that still exists but no one will be able to legally enter.
