Maybe a slightly off topic question, but with the recent-ish news of Corellium winning against Apple in court to sell an iOS virtualization service. How is it that virtualizing macOS (on non-apple hardware) is still NOT ok (illegal?)? Cloud providers are forced to host mac instances on real mac hardware for example (with a lot of strange restrictions).

Virtualizing macOS on non-Apple hardware is against Apple's TOS. It is not illegal. Big difference.

  What exactly are the repercussions for breaking them? Sure, Apple wouldn't sell me anything officially anymore, but how could they actually stop me? They evidently can't stop Corellium.

    They could sue you in court, and the court could find for them and enjoin you from doing a particular thing (an "injunction"), and then if you did that thing any more you'd be in contempt of court, which can result in fines and jail time.
