IANAL, but in English the above means that if you have more than one
Apple-labeled computer, you are only allowed by this License to have a
copy of the Apple software on one of them at a time, and only allowed by
this License to have one copy on that one Apple-labeled computer, and
does not seem to address non-Apple-labeled computers at all.  Whatever
"Apple-labeled" means in this context, since MacOS can be running and is
now running on all sorts of PC-compatible hardware.

It may mean something else in lawyerese.  Or it may just be badly
written.

Or it may be starting from a basis of everything being prohibited, so
that rights must be explicitly added, but there are all sorts of legal
things that make any absolute anything [e.g. prohibition] not as
absolute as one might think.
