It's in a similar vein to the PS2 linux cluster or someone trying to use vape CPU's as web servers...

It might be cost effective, but the supplier is still saying "you get no support, and in fact we might even put roadblocks in your way because you aren't the target customer".

True.

I'm sure Apple could make a killing on the server side, unfortunately their income from their other products is so big that even if that's a 10B/year opportunity they'll be like "yawn, yeah, whatever".

Doubt. A 10B idea is still a promotion. And if capitalism is shrinkflationing hard, which it is atm, then capitalists would not leave something like that on the table.
