A more practical reason: many commercial software vendors price
their products based on the hardware cost of the machine it will
run on; something like SoftPC pays for itself in no time if you
can get "the same program" for a PeeCee price rather than a
"Sun" one (look, feel, and performance notwithstanding).

This is why I suspect anyone who comes up with a Mac IIci
emulator for the NeXT is going to make a killing...
