Well, it's not completely unreasonable given that Apple is in the business of selling hardware. Of course they want you to buy macs. :)

There are a few companies that host Mac VPS instances, and the one I used back in 2011 was running on XServe's using what looked like a bare metal VMWare solution (Parallels had one too I believe). Rare even back then though, Mini's are definitely more common.

You don't even need it to be an OS X host, only Apple hardware. VMware allows you to install OS X on ESXi hosts that run on Mac mini or Mac Pro (but disables that functionality on all non-Apple hardware).
Previous versions just flat-out banned any sort of virtualization.
Appears this release now allows you to have up-to 2 OSX guests running ontop of an OSX host.
(A pathetic attempt at allowing virtualization imho, my Xen hosts at the office have 10-30 guests running concurrently per box)
