There's nothing really that proprietary about Macs. They use the same hardware in other computers, and software-wise OSX is a certified UNIX operating system with a highly customized UI. There's way more open-source software under the hood of OSX than there is in Windows. If you're using Chrome or the default browser on Android, you can thank Apple for creating the open-source WebKit rendering engine these browsers use.
By proprietary, I mean that you can't install OSX on a Windows based machine without some tinkering, while you can install Windows on an Apple machine right out of the box.
