The kind of person who buys the new G5 for home use is the same person who buys Bose speakers and drives a BMW Z4 (at least that's the impression I get when I visit their stores).
That may be who they are targeting, but for the most part they get starving artists who are eating ramen in order to save up for software for their Mac (which put them out of their house to begin with...). There was a Forrester Group study a few months back which examined users of various software and hardware and 75% of Macs are being used in business situations...most of them being used in the medical industries (apparently a lot of the firmware for MRI and CAT scan machines was written to interface with Apple only...). 12% are being used in education systems...a large portion of that being from a huge buyout that the federal government did a few years back to prevent Apple from going under...again (they did the same thing in the early 90s). The remainder is relegated to surfing the web and sending emails. I don't remember the exact demographic on it - but it was around 50% of the home users surveyed make less than $50K. Granted Wintel systems had a higher portion in the lower bracket...but when you control 80%+ of the market, you can afford to slum a little.

iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes
The secret of their success? They run on Windows. 
With the exception of the iPod (and honestly the HP version of the iPod has been recieving better reviews than the Apple iPod), there really hasn't been much that Apple has done in the past 15 years that really has shown any in roads towards the home user.

Right now for me to bid on educational products it has to be MAC and PC. Which leaves me with Blender (free), Shockwave / Director ($1500), Torque ($500), and VirTools($10,000).
I feel your pain there. Although I have not been dealing with the educational contracts recently - the government made a number of bulk purchases of Apple systems over the years. A lot of them have made it to schools, but there are a lot which have been set up in various other areas as well (imagery analysis is my big gripe right now...). When I make bids on the contract I either have to develop for the systems in place (Apples and PCs...depending on the location) or figure the cost of replacing the unsupported system into the contract...as of yet, I have been doing the later.

You sell 100 MAC copies and hopefully the 3DGS team will make a tiddy profit.
I am sure you could get alot of Director users to add 3DGS to their tool set if there was a MAC version. Add 500 more 3DGS Mac users from them Director cross over.
Could get all the people who want a OpenGL (and OpenAL, and new network code...) version of 3DGS and would be willing to pay for it to sign a petition and what version they would be willing to buy. If it gets up anywhere near those numbers I would bet Conitec would take another close look at doing the port.
However unlike a lot of software like Silo (good software that had a massive Mac crowd clammering on a daily basis for the port of it) I just don't see it happening...

supporting the MAC creative crowd would be a good money maker.
Nah, you want to support Windows and the rest of us greed driven money mongers.
