Not including the new Apple Silicon products, why can’t you install MacOS on an Intel-based PC (like Dell/Lenovo/HP), but using Boot Camp, you can install Windows on Intel-based Macs.

Apple sells the software AND hardware, Microsoft sells the software only. Apple doesn’t want customers to be able to use their software without their hardware, so they implement restrictions in macOS to prevent this. On the other hand, Microsoft doesn’t care where you’re running Windows, as long as u buy Windows.
