That makes little enough sense for a development environment since the
actually relevant sales are for the machines running the resulting
applications.  If people can just buy one Mac to develop software
running on 100000 non-Macs, Apple hasn't gained anything worthwhile.  In
our case people are restrained from using one non-Mac to develop
software running on 100000 Macs.  Using software that cannot sensibly be
offered in Apple's Appstore.

This is not as much about protecting the hardware sales model (which
definitely was the case when desktop Macs were much more relevant but
precedes this kind of Xcode license) but about keeping the walled
gardens locked up.
