I think the same thing. Abandoning servers as it's not their main product is fine, but what about all those developers who want to build a basic CI system? For Android it's simple - a bunch of cheap Dell servers with Linux or something. But iOS? Most teams are using Mac Minis as servers, but they haven't been updated in years and are dual-core only, so they're not great options.

Past a certain number of OSX instances needed for testing, a lot of shops virtualize. The licensing can be a hassle, though. I suspect a lot of places that do this wouldn't pass an audit.
