It's not twice as much, but Apple hardware is still pretty pricey, especially when you're talking about standard desktops and laptops, and not ultraportables.
I know lots of people running Windows on Apple hardware as well, but most of them do it simply because they need access to both Windows and OSX. It's way more convenient to have a single machine, and you can't do it the other way around (or at least, it's considerably easier to run Boot Camp than it is to build a Hackintosh).
