I want to agree with you, but with caveats; HIPAA systems need to be certified to be secure to a certain degree and are specifically meant to handle sensitive PII data. While Apple could eat the cost of accreditation, it would be a significant burden to require your average IT/PC repair shop to do so. It would also mean opening yourself up to significant liability every time you work on someone's computer, so there would probably have to be some kind of malpractice insurance. I think there's probably a middle ground in there somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
