The only reason why I would personally do that is to run some continuous integration for OSX software. Otherwise I can't think of any reason why one would run a OSX server,which implies owning a Macintosh. Some legacy frameworks like web objects might run better on OSX. At a previous job, we used a server on a mac mini that ran a proprietary software which did 3GP video encoding with DRM. We had to buy a mac mini for that single purpose (+ the cost of the software license). |

I can confirm this (I work at MacStadium). We've got 1. a large number of CI SaaS companies that run their OS X/iOS builds on our hardware and 2. at least several hundred companies that run their own custom build tools or Jenkins on individual or clusters of Mac minis, Xserves, and Mac Pros in our data centers.
