Just before Steve Jobs came back to Apple they did do this, and the results were less then Stellar. When Apple owns the complete hardware and operating system, then they can do better quality control, and that directly effects their ability to support customers as well as they do. I have to say it is a bit amuzing to bring a 5 year old Macintosh into an Apple Store. Generally the G bar folks try hard to help, but if the machine needs a new display or back light the or power cord they generally say go to this shop down the road called Mac Heaven.
