Sure, you'll need a Mac if you want to run the Mac OS (legitimately). But to call it a dongle is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. I have to reply because a lot of people seem to be making this mistake. You precisely described a dongle in that paragraph. A dongle is a piece of hardware which is necessary if you would like to run the software. It doesn't necessarily mean the dongle is worthless, it just means that you can't run the software without it, which is what you said.
