Oops, I used the word "can" instead of "may" since OS X can run on pretty much any hardware.
I agree with you as far as what software you can run on OS X. It isn't like iOS where Apple bans apps.
Where you could run into problems is if you, as an organization, standardizes on OS X, you must also standardize on Apple hardware. If, on the other hand, you standardize on Linux or Windows, you aren't forced to buy hardware from any single vendor. That is vendor lock-in: standardize on OS X? You are locked into a single vendor for hardware. No other PC "ecosystem" locks you in in that way.
