That's fine if you know enough about computers to research the bare-bones PC you buy, but many people don't. I sell a line of computers called iNext at work, put together by a company called Mckinnon. On paper, spec-wise and dollar wise, these are great PC's. But I don't sell them, because they come back for servicing more often than any other brand I sell.
I'm not saying that Apple Computers are far and above the quality you get from PC's. I'm simply saying that for someone who doesn't know PC's enough to distinguish between decent components and crap, buying a mac is a pretty safe bet. And if you're like me and are fed up with constantly combating viruses and spyware, the mac OS is a good way to go. If Apple ever gets a serious share of the market, the problems will come. However, for now, mac OS is a great way to go.
