With the Xserve, all Apple had to sell was repackaged Intel systems—with an Apple markup. They had nothing special to offer on the hardware side.
Now they have Apple Silicon.

That’s because they tried integration with the rest of their SW ecosystem.
If they just did motherboards with cpu/ram/pcie and let other OEMs build complete systems the story would be very different
