I would find it difficult to believe that Apple had even 1/2 the number of devs as Microsoft.

From the Microsoft website:
As of June 2005, we had approximately 60,000 employees in more than 90 countries, with more than 38,000 based in the United States.

I couldn't find any figures on the Apple site.

And they are more expensive.

That is simple.  Build your own.

I was under the impression that this had already been done with instructions published on various web sites on how to do it.
