A Hackintosh is different from an iOS jailbreak.

An iOS jailbreak is trying to use an Apple device like a Linux device, with access to the filesystem and private APIs.

A Hackintosh is more like emulating the APIs (and an actual Apple serial number, which I guess they use to gate access to iCloud and iMessage) required to boot and run macOS on an Intel PC.

No, I get it, but it's still somewhat fallacious to say Apple doesn't care about "unauthorized" access to devices or services (whether or not you agree that such authority is reasonable or not).

I think it makes sense that you'd get banned if you did iMessage type abuse via jailbreak too. There just isn't some flag isJailbroken or something.

What is iMessage abuse on a Hackintosh? It’s connected to an Apple account. You’re running macOS. What is inherently abusive about it?
